Breathtaking tropical paradise nestled in a private cul-de-sac on a nearly 12,000 square foot lot! Backing to a serene slope with no neighbors behind, this home boasts an incredible $500,000 backyard that offers luxury, privacy, and endless relaxation. The sparkling saltwater pool takes center stage, complete with cascading waterfalls, a jumping rock, beach entry, and a 19-foot hillside water slide. Unwind in the oversized spa or enjoy the two-sided papala-covered bar with seating for 8' with a fridge, sink, ice box and BBQ grill. Cozy up in front of the stone fireplace, or gather around the stone/gas fire pit to make lasting memories. For panoramic views of the San Juan Hills and Mission, head up the private hillside to the secluded deck—ideal for watching sunrises or fireworks on the 4th of July. The stunning backyard is complemented by flagstone hardscaping, tropical vegetation, a patio cover, and the latest addition of a new pool/spa heater. Inside, the home boasts new flooring in the dining and living rooms, ceilings adorned with faux wood beams, and French doors opening directly to the dream yard. The expanded kitchen features a chopping block island, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, newer cabinetry, recessed lighting, and a walk-in pantry. The spacious family room, with recessed lighting and a flagstone hearth, also opens to the backyard paradise. The master suite offers a walk-in closet with custom organizers, and a bath with a marble-top dual vanity and a natural slate walk-in shower. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, new carpet, PEX repipe and a recirculating instant hot water system. Dual-pane vinyl windows throughout. The 3-car garage provides built-in storage cabinets, attic space, and ample room for all your needs. The expansive lot leaves plenty of space for potential additions or customization. Conveniently located near shopping, Mission Viejo Mall, and just a short drive to the cool ocean breezes of Dana Point Harbor, this rare gem offers the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and tranquility.
