About This Home

As of February 2025

Location, location, location! Welcome to 5127 Costa Rustico! One will find a wonderful and spacious home located on a single-loaded cul-de-sac with no one in front, behind, or to the left of you! We're talking privacy. And the lot: wow! Huge lot with a ton of upgrades, including a killer backyard fireplace, BBQ area, view, and so much more.
What is so great about the floor plan of the Plan 3 Ridgemore model is the flexibility to make this home yours. Builder options galore, of which the sellers opted for a 4th bedroom upstairs vs a loft - and the 3rd car garage can easily be converted to a 5th bedroom or an office or gym! (Your agent has access to photos of other homes in the neighborhood that opted for the 5th bedroom.)
Awaiting you inside is a wonderful living space, including separate formal living and dining rooms. The family room, which is adjacent to the chef's kitchen, features a cozy fireplace and in-ceiling speakers to enjoy the latest movies and sports! One will find 2 full bathrooms, one half bath downstairs, and a very generous primary suite with plantation shutters, island style soaking tub with elegant marble, a separate shower, dual vanities, a large walk-in closet, and a view deck. Wow! And, to keep energy bills low, the home is outfitted with a SunRun solar system. Complete info. available.
Being SoCal, the Forster Highlands association offers an Olympic size swimming pool, a relaxing jacuzzi spa, and a community clubhouse. Close by are multiple sports fields, tennis courts, neighborhood parks, and not far is world-class shopping and entertainment, the ocean, boating and more! Plus, Dana Point and San Diego are not that far away, leading to more food, entertainment, and shopping options! The Capistrano district features award winning schools. The HOA fees are low and there are no Mello Roos bonds. Make it a priority to schedule a tour of this wonderful home!
