Absolutely gorgeous property, situated on an upper level affording a peek-a-boo pool view. The Hillcrest neighborhood shares a modern industrial vibe which carries into the interior's open well-designed floorplan. Upstairs leads to the sun-soaked welcoming deck and inside the fresh and inviting atmosphere. Tall ceilings, rich crown molding, bright white walls, and a stacked stone fireplace as a focal point, adds to the appeal of this surprisingly spacious great room and dining room space. Wood-look flooring throughout adds to the clean lines and appeal of this property. Step inside the fully outfitted kitchen with sleek granite countertops, glass tile full backsplash, crisp white cabinetry, and a full complement of appliances including range, dishwasher and microwave. The plentiful counter space is ideal for daily meal prep or entertaining needs. One of two bedrooms is just off the great room, with a convenient slider that opens to the private deck, expanding the versatility of this easy flowing floorplan. The second bedroom enjoys a walk-in closet and a light and bright setting. The generous bath is complete with a tub/shower combination, clear glass enclosure and custom vanity and mirror. Inside laundry accommodates a stackable washer/dryer ... a real bonus here and conveniently located in the hall closet. This unit also offers a one-car garage just steps away. HOA amenities include exterior maintenance and a sparkling pool and bubbling spa for your use. As a bonus, Lake Mission Viejo membership rights include boating, fishing, evening concerts, movie nights and much more. Close to shopping, favorite dining, and a great commuter location as well.
