Welcome to this exceptional 5-bedroom residence located in the highly sought-after Melinda Heights community of Rancho Santa Margarita. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, style, and flexibility, this spacious home features a desirable main-level bedroom with a full bath—ideal for guests or multigenerational living.

The home has been extensively upgraded, beginning with a fully renovated kitchen just four months ago. This chef-inspired space boasts quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center prep island, a convenient pot filler above the stove, and a sleek touchless faucet. The open-concept design seamlessly connects the kitchen to the inviting family room, creating an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday living.

All three bathrooms were fully remodeled within the past year, showcasing high-end finishes. The spa-like primary bath offers a dual shower with both a rain and standard showerhead, a fog-free lighted mirror, under-sink pullout drawers, and a backlit vanity mirror. The expansive primary suite also features a cozy sitting area and a generous walk-in closet.

Step outside to a beautifully backyard retreat, complete with a built-in BBQ—perfect for al fresco dining—and a tranquil fountain that adds ambiance and charm to the outdoor space.

Additional highlights include a full upstairs laundry room, a Tesla charger in the garage, and fully owned solar panels. Enjoy scenic partial mountain views and the convenience of being directly across from Estella Park. Two community pools are located within half a mile, and the award-winning, Blue Ribbon Melinda Heights Elementary School is just a short walk away.

As part of the SAMLARC community, residents enjoy access to premier resort-style amenities including a private lake, beach club, multiple pools, and lush parks and trails. HOA dues and gardening services are included in the lease, offering a luxurious and low-maintenance lifestyle.
