This stately yet casually sophisticated home mixes layers of texture both inside and out to create this idyllic residence in the heart of Mission Viejo. Every facet of the home has been thoughtfully curated to offer a living experience that is not only practical but warm, inviting, and visually striking. With an entry area that spans two stories, the home maintains a spacious feel, with a central staircase that serves as a unifying element. To enhance the openness of the living area, the use of large windows add to the home's sense of grandeur. Further through the property, the kitchen was envisioned as a spacious hub for gathering and entertaining. Upstairs, the first room you come into is “The Gathering Place”. This is the family's game room and entertaining area. With a full functioning bar, video gaming area, and sporting tables, this unique room definitely plays the role as the gathering room for friends and family. Furthermore, the primary bedroom offers expansive views of the surrounding hillsides. The en-suite creates a feel of simplicity yet elegance, with its large free standing bathtub and full open shower, this room gives the impression of a hotel suite. The owners focus was creating an integrated home with an expansive connection to the gardens and landscape which take advantage of the unique Southern California climate. They integrated an array of native greenery throughout the gardens that serve as transitions between the front and rear of the property. The jacuzzi with its grotto waterfall provides a calming setting with the sound of falling water. Each area has its unique feel while staying true to the overall theme and styling. While the visual aspects were modernized including all three bathrooms and the entirety of the flooring, many non visual elements were also looked at. The owners made sure to replace the HVAC system and fully replace the property with PEX piping in 2023. Also brand new high efficiency solar panels were added last year. But at night, the property takes on a new life. With lights shining from every corner inside and out, the property stands out from the rest of the neighborhood while enhancing the beauty of its curb appeal. Plus, with its desirable location, the property offers full membership to Lake Mission Viejo and all it's amenities. This home’s infusion of timelessness strikes a perfect balance between modern yet comfortable. The resulting home feels refreshed and ready for its next chapter.
