Private pool and spa, remodeled primary bathroom, upgraded luxury vinyl plan floors, fresh paint, a main floor bedroom with a full bathroom, and a 3-car garage with room to spare! Welcome to this spacious, thoughtfully updated two-story home in Rancho Santa Margarita. Curb appeal starts with a warm stucco exterior, freshly painted, along with a tile roofline, an arched entryway, and mature palm trees framing the front of the home. Inside, the 3,443-square-foot layout spreads comfortably across two levels, with upgraded stairs finished in luxury vinyl plank, new carpet upstairs, and a versatile loft space that adds a flexible living or work area. A large kitchen island anchors the heart of the home, and the expansive primary suite comes complete with a remodeled bathroom and two closets. A private front balcony off the upstairs living space adds another relaxing outdoor retreat, while the private pool and spa out back make for easy at-home relaxation. Parking is no issue here, with an attached 3-car garage plus driveway space for more vehicles, and a solar system helps offset energy costs year-round. Beyond the home itself, the community adds to the appeal, sitting within Rancho Santa Margarita's Master HOA SAMLARC, one of the most amenity-rich HOAs in the area.
