Property Description

Welcome to Resort-Style Living in the Heart of Rancho Santa Margarita! This home is located in the only lakefront community of detached homes in Rancho Santa Margarita, offering a unique opportunity to live in an exclusive neighborhood of just 41 homes. Situated steps away from Lake RSM and its 1.1-mile walking trail, the home is also close to the community pool, Beach Club, and Lagoon. Enjoy walking distance to restaurants, markets, and easy access to local amenities. The home features a modern, multi-level floor plan that offers both privacy and spacious communal living areas. A standout feature is the rare basement with a half-bath, which provides a versatile space beyond just a third bedroom. This flexible area could easily be transformed into a game room, office, media room, home gym, or personal retreat — the choice is yours. The home has been fully upgraded with new flooring throughout, including 6” baseboards and custom framing for all windows, creating a sleek, polished look. The redesigned kitchen is a highlight, featuring premium finishes, an expansive island, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets offering ample storage. New stainless steel appliances complete the space, which opens seamlessly to the dining and family room areas, centered around a dual-sided fireplace. A loft area offers a versatile space that could be used for an office, tech center, or reading nook. The upper level offers dual master suites with views of the community pool. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated, including the master bath, which now features a luxurious floor-to-ceiling marble shower. The private patio is an ideal spot for outdoor living, complete with an in-glass dog door (a $3,000 upgrade) for added convenience. Additional upgrades throughout the home include a renovated downstairs bath, upgraded toilets in all bathrooms, and built-in cabinets by the fireplace for extra storage. The property is ideally located on a corner lot, offering privacy and easy access to the pool, jacuzzi, and other community amenities. You’ll also be just steps from Santa Margarita Lake, where you can enjoy signature events such as the 4th of July Star Spangled Spectacular and the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. This home offers the perfect blend of comfortable living, modern upgrades, and prime location in one of Rancho Santa Margarita's most sought-after neighborhoods.
