About This Home

As of September 2025

Presenting a beautifully updated lower-level 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence offering a highly functional, no-stairs layout and exceptional attention to detail. Located in one of Aliso Viejo’s most desirable communities (St.Tropez), this turnkey home combines comfort, convenience, and refined style.

Interior highlights include hardwood flooring throughout, custom window treatments, and thoughtfully designed built-in cabinetry that adds both storage and sophistication. The light-filled open-concept living and dining area is anchored by a cozy fireplace and seamlessly connects to a private wraparound patio—ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

The upgraded kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, light quartz countertops, and a walk-in pantry for ample storage. The spacious guest bedroom is served by a full bathroom with tub and shower, while the private primary suite includes a dual-sink vanity, walk-in shower, and generous walk-in closet.

Additional features include a direct-access 2-car garage with epoxy flooring and built-in cabinets and shelving, as well as an in-unit washer and dryer for added convenience.

Residents enjoy access to the community pool and spa just steps away, and exclusive gated entry to Argonaut Park featuring a playground, picnic area, basketball court, and expansive greenbelt.

This prime location places you within walking distance to the Aliso Viejo Town Center, parks, Starbucks, award-winning schools, and the Aliso Viejo Aquatic Center. With easy access to the 73 Toll Road and just minutes to the beaches of Laguna, this home offers the very best of South Orange County living.
