This peaceful sanctuary in Casta del Sol’s exclusive 55+ gated community is three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1,472 square feet of southern California perfection. Pulling into the driveway, the well-manicured lawn, mature tree, and plenty of sunshine brightened up the home. As you step through the front door, the alluring hardwoods draw the eye through the house. Straight ahead is the living room. High ceilings, recessed lighting, wood shutters, and a white-brick fireplace decorate this spacious room that will certainly be put to good use while hosting friends and family. Around the corner is the kitchen -- a stunning dream space for any home chef. Whitewood cabinets line the walls, offering loads of storage space and accenting light-grey countertops and backsplash. Beyond the kitchen is the formal dining room. Vaulted ceilings, a glass sliding door, and high windows guarantee there is always incredible natural light throughout the day. At night, the elegant chandelier hanging overhead will delightfully illuminate the area. The home’s three bedrooms are spacious and bright, but if you are looking for a resort-like retreat, the primary room is right up your alley. More vaulted ceilings, a large window with wood shutters, arched doorways, and an unbelievable ensuite make this space the ultimate homeowner’s retreat. The ensuite continues the thread of all-white decor with a double mirror, shower/tub combo, and seated vanity. Lastly, if you’re looking to enjoy the refreshing OC air, you will love the back patio. Covered by an expertly constructed pergola and surrounded by a tight-woven lattice, this is the ideal space for an afternoon of reading or sharing stories over a glass of wine with friends. With Lake Mission Viejo, numerous markets, restaurants, and shopping nearby, this home truly checks all the boxes.
