About This Home

As of December 2021

*Views* Don't miss this beautiful townhome with nobody above or below you and a view of the canyon too! Located in one of Orange County's most popular cities, Rancho Santa Margarita boasts one of the lowest crime levels, highly ranked schools, and a number of community amenities as well. The patio offers brand sew sod with plenty of room to entertain along with vinyl fences for privacy as you enjoy the forever views! Inside the first floor offers wood tile floors, upgraded cabinets with modern hardware, and a remodeled counter. An attached 2 car garage with laundry and powder is also featured on the first floor that you'll love. Upstairs offers a huge guest bedroom that could be a double master, high ceilings, and views of the mountains. The second guest bedroom is generously sized and a perfect office or kid's room. The master bedroom showcases neutral paint and views of Tijeras Creek Canyon, beautiful! No Mello Roos either!
