Welcome to this gorgeous two-story home nestled in the highly sought-after Montiel neighborhood of Mission Viejo. As you approach this home, you are greeted by the beautifully landscaped yard, recently painted exterior, and—possibly best of all—the pavers that start at the driveway and work their way around the home to the entertainer’s backyard. Thoughtfully designed with a warm and inviting floor plan that has been expanded, the home boasts four bedrooms and three full baths, including the highly coveted lower-level bedroom and full bath. The oversized primary suite features a large walk-in closet, updated bathroom, extra storage, built-in cabinets, and a private balcony that is perfect for enjoying the Saddleback Mountain view, early morning sunrises, and cool evenings. The kitchen is light and bright and opens to the extra-large family room, which boasts a cozy fireplace, French doors, and recessed lighting. The light and bright atrium is located between the family room and living room and is ready for you to install your jacuzzi or create your own cozy seating area. All baths have been updated, vinyl dual-pane windows installed, ceilings scraped, and much more.
