This upgraded 3 bedroom 3 bath Town home answers the question, "Why does everyone love Coral Gardens". The unit has a great location inside the community. It is two units from the end of Barbados facing out toward the mountains. It is away from the traffic on Margarete. Sitting on top of the highest terrace in Coral Gardens, it is protected from common area noise. Located a short walk to Beautiful Lake Mission Viejo is The Lake Club. Enjoy the beach and all amenities knowing that this exclusive club membership is included in your HOA Dues. A gated courtyard leads to the front door or the Breakfast room slider a great place for morning coffee. There are rose bushes in the patio flower beds watered by manual drip irrigation. Inside the front door you are welcomed home by rich porcelain tile that transitions to beautiful engineered wood flooring in the living room. As you walk in you are lifted by soaring ceilings and a sweeping sky light lit stair case to the second floor bedrooms. Entering the combination dining area and spacious Living Room with chandelier and gas fire place, you are immediately at home. Under the stairs there is a very large L shaped storage space. Many rooms throughout the home feature wood shutters. The new Chefs kitchen is the heart and soul of this home. Solid body porcelain tile leads in from the entry to a panorama of wood cabinets, stainless appliances including refrigerator freezer, convection and conventional ovens and a roomy microwave. Now your eye is transfixed on very rich granite slab counters with ample prep and working space. The artfully dramatic back splash blends flawlessly with the counters creating a perfect area for culinary inspiration and primal home cooked comfort. Just off the kitchen is the open breakfast room, daily drenched with early morning sun, which leads to the large two car garage with cabinets, washer dryer and plenty of storage area. There is a first floor bedroom and bath that leads through a slider to a very generous tree shaded rear patio constructed of cement and brick accents with raised planter seating. The patio is fabulous for entertaining and includes a table for six with chairs and cushions, and two barbecues. Upstairs are the Primary bedroom with en suite bath, balcony views and walk in closet and the Secondary bedroom and hall bath. The owner performed a permitted whole home PEX RE PIPE. All furnishings are included in the sale.
