Property Description
Designed for both refined comfort and effortless entertaining, this beautifully maintained two-story residence is ideally situated in the highly sought-after Cantamar neighborhood of Rancho Santa Margarita — a community known for its strong demand and limited availability. The main level showcases wood-style ceramic tile flooring, recessed lighting, and a spacious open layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen and family room. A classic fireplace anchors the living space, while a sliding glass door leads directly to the backyard — creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features a newer Whirlpool refrigerator, built-in kegerator, breakfast bar seating, and a pantry for organized storage. A well-appointed powder room completes the downstairs. Upstairs, all bedrooms are thoughtfully situated along with a versatile loft — perfect for a home office, study space, or secondary lounge. The generously sized primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath featuring a separate soaking tub. Secondary bedrooms share a spacious bathroom with ample counter space. The private backyard is designed for relaxed Southern California living, complete with a putting green, bistro lighting, mature fruit trees, and a generously sized wraparound side yard with newly added turf — offering both charm and low-maintenance functionality. Major systems have been updated for peace of mind, including a new HVAC system and water heater (2022). The garage is equally impressive with a large workbench and added storage (2022), plus epoxy flooring and a new garage door opener installed in 2026 — creating a polished and highly functional bonus space ideal for a home gym, workshop, or creative studio.
