To blend with its contemporary Spanish style exterior, this dramatic, single-story view home in the rolling hills of Rancho Mission Viejo, offers a stunning interior highlighted by an 11-1/2 foot high, rustic-beamed Great Room. Flooded with natural light from oversized view windows, this striking living area features a large stone-clad gas fireplace and 3-panel sliding glass doors that lead to the outside "California" room, patio and southwestern landscaped yard. A stone-covered wall in the California room matches the stone of the interior fireplace providing unusual design continuity. A pull-down shade in this outside room--which is ideal for informal dining--enhances privacy. Augmenting the home's southwestern feel are custom tiled floors throughout--even extending outside through the California room--wrought-iron ceiling fans with lighting fixtures in all major rooms, unique kitchen pendant lights and bronze fixtures. Also included are upgraded mirrors in baths and a convenient electric outlet in the center of the Great Room. Highlighting the easy-to-maintain yard are a flagstone patio, striking basalt fountain, dry creek bed, built-in gas fire pit and mature trees positioned for shade and privacy. The home is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac that greatly limits traffic. Due to the home's lot positioning, it offers expansive views of the nearby development-protected hills and mountains. 55 years and older, E.V. charging station in garage, 9 Solar panels on roof Special Assessment community service fee. 55 and over area.
