You would not find a more CHARMING, WELL LOCATED CONDO WITH 3 BEDROOMS (1 DOWNSTAIRS) AND 3 FULL BATHS & 2 CAR ATTACHED GARAGE in beautiful MELINDA HEIGHTS, walking distance to BLUE-RIBBON MELINDA HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY, if you tried. It's been tastefully upgraded w new deluxe vinyl flooring, new carpet, new paint, new Master bath vanity, w marble countertop, and new lighting. The first thing you see when you walk in is the beautiful view out the GORGEOUS WALL OF WINDOWS, not only breathtaking, but illuminating the entire downstairs! Family room is good-sized, with a charming fireplace, and a door to the back courtyard, a wonderful place to relax, and enjoy the beautiful view. The kitchen is spacious with plentiful cabinetry, QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS, AND STAINLESS APPLIANCES!! There's also a bedroom downstairs, with it's own door to private courtyard, & a full bath. Upstairs, 2 ensuite large bedrooms, one with 2 closets, & one with walk-in closet. Master bedroom has the gorgeous, private view, and a new MARBLE COUNTERTOP & VANITY. Both bathrooms have just had bath/shower reglazed, so they look brand new. This is one of the few units that has a 2nd private gated courtyard, upon entering. THE LOCATION IS UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL, AND TRANQUIL. Take advantage of all the Rancho Santa Margarita has to offer, Beach club, 4 jr olympic sized pools, tennis, & sport courts, including all of that within walking distance.
