Welcome to a home that feels like sunshine — a place where comfort, charm, and California living intertwine seamlessly. Nestled in the highly sought-after Barcelona community of Mission Viejo, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers not just a house, but a lifestyle — one filled with warmth, laughter, and possibility. Step inside and immediately feel the harmony of a bright, open floor plan that welcomes you with natural light from every direction. The spacious living area flows effortlessly into the resort-style backyard, making everyday moments feel like a retreat. The downstairs bedroom and full bath offer flexibility and convenience — perfect for visiting family, a private home office, or a cozy guest suite for loved ones. Upstairs, mornings begin with sunshine and birdsong. The primary suite invites you to enjoy a cup of coffee on your private balcony, where gentle breezes and golden light set the tone for the day. A walk-in closet and redesigned en-suite bath make this retreat both peaceful and practical. Two additional bedrooms — including a loft-style space — provide endless opportunities: a creative studio, nursery, or reading nook where dreams take shape. Step outside and discover your own private sanctuary — a lush backyard where time slows down. Mature Brazilian cherry trees, lovingly grown from seed, stand alongside a fruit-bearing mango tree, offering shade, color, and abundance. Brick privacy walls create a peaceful escape where you can unwind, entertain friends, or simply listen to the birds that call this place home. Some of the recent upgrades are the installation of plush carpet in 2022, a fresh coat of paint throughout on 02/25 and a newer light colored reflective roof that beautifully reflects the sunlight and keep the home cool and bright during Summer, among many others. Beyond your doorstep, a world of recreation and community awaits. Enjoy exclusive access to Lake Mission Viejo, where weekends can be spent kayaking, paddleboarding, picnicking, or attending lakeside concerts under the stars. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and welcoming, surrounded by top-rated schools, local shops, and diverse markets. All this comes with no Mello Roos, no in-tract HOA, and a low 1.01% tax rate — making it not only a beautiful lifestyle choice but also a wise investment opportunity in one of Orange County’s most desirable communities. Here, life feels lighter, the air fresher, and every day a little more golden.
