Imagine coming home to a place where thoughtful design and everyday luxury come together in the heart of Rancho Mission Viejo's sought-after Citron neighborhood. With over $80,000 in recent designer upgrades, you'll enjoy a home that feels polished, sophisticated, and completely move-in ready from the moment you arrive. Step inside and you're immediately welcomed by a striking designer entry, where a custom architectural wood slat feature wall creates an unforgettable first impression. Perfectly positioned on an east-facing homesite adjacent to a lush greenbelt, this upgraded Citron Plan 2 offers approximately 2,005 square feet with three bedrooms, three baths, a versatile loft, an attached two-car garage, and a convenient upstairs laundry room with built-in cabinetry. At the heart of the home, you'll find a stunning designer kitchen centered around a dramatic waterfall island wrapped in elegant marble with custom lighted bar seating, complemented by custom cabinetry, premium appliances, matte black fixtures, and carefully curated finishes. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and expansive great room, where oversized windows frame the adjacent greenbelt, filling the space with natural light. Extending the living space outdoors, the private fenced courtyard offers a peaceful, low-maintenance retreat. Designer updates continue throughout the home, including wide-plank luxury flooring, fresh interior paint, custom architectural wood accent walls, designer window treatments, sophisticated lighting, beautifully remodeled bathrooms with frameless glass shower enclosures, rainfall shower fixtures, illuminated mirrors, contemporary vanities and smart bidet toilets, a whole-home water softener system, a Tesla charging station, custom closets, and countless thoughtful details including smart features that elevate everyday living. The location is just as exceptional. Nestled in one of Citron's quieter interior locations, you're just around the corner from The South Plunge community pool and the highly acclaimed Esencia K-8 School. Beyond your doorstep, Rancho Mission Viejo offers miles of scenic trails, parks, fitness centers, sports courts, clubhouses, community events, and resort-style amenities that make every day feel like a getaway. Walk to a 10/10 K-8 School. Walk to the Pool. Come Home to Designer Living. More than a beautifully upgraded home, this is your opportunity to experience one of Orange County's most sought-after communities.
