Home Details

Skip the wait and extra expenses of new construction, this beautifully finished home is truly move-in ready today, with landscaping, window coverings, and major upgrades already complete. Over $187,224 IN UPGRADES, PAID SOLAR, and RESORT-STYLE LIVING in one of Rancho Mission Viejo’s most sought-after new communities make this home an exceptional opportunity. Located in the vibrant Rienda neighborhood, residents enjoy access to sparkling resort-style pools, clubhouses, state-of-the-art fitness centers, pickleball courts, sports parks, firepits, scenic walking trails, and top-rated schools, creating a lifestyle that blends connection, recreation, and everyday luxury. This nearly new 3-bedroom, plus a loft, 2.5-bath residence offers 2,065 square feet of beautifully designed living space on a RARE OVERSIZED LOT, delivering both comfort and privacy. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, where quartz countertops, a custom backsplash, an oversized island, stainless steel appliances with gas range and griddle, and UPGRADED KITCHEN CABINETS extending to the ceiling create a sleek and elevated design. Energy-efficient features including PAID SOLAR, a tankless water heater, and a whole-house fan provide long-term savings, while SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY such as a Ring doorbell, smart thermostat, and smart light switches enhance daily convenience. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers flexible living space, and the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a CUSTOM BUILT-IN WALK IN CLOSET, UPGRADED PRIMARY BATHROOM with dual sinks and quartz counters, a dedicated vanity, and an upgraded frameless walk-in shower. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, CUSTOM WINDOW COVERINGS such as plantation shutters and electronic blinds, and custom paint further elevate the interior. Outdoors, UPGRADED LANDSCAPING AND A FULLY FINISHED YARD create a polished and low-maintenance setting, complemented by a covered California patio with ceiling fan and the added privacy of NO REAR NEIGHBORS. The epoxy-finished garage with smart garage door opener completes this thoughtfully enhanced home that combines modern design and energy efficiency. This is more than a home, it is an opportunity to embrace the Rancho Mission Viejo lifestyle and truly thrive in a community designed for connection, recreation, and elevated everyday living.
