EXPANSIVE, UPDATED, TURNKEY RESIDENCE WITH FIVE BEDROOMS (ONE DOWN), THREE BATHROOMS AND FEATURES A FANTASTIC FLOOR PLAN! Beginning with great curb appeal, including an inviting walk up, enter to find a spacious formal living room with great light and high volume ceilings. Set up for entertaining on a grand scale, opposite the large formal living room is a convenient bar or serving area which opens to a grand formal dining room. With light streaming in from a picture window above French doors  that lead to a side patio, the dining room is stunning with two story ceilings and plenty of space for a large gathering. Beyond the formal living areas, at the back of the home, you will find a large family room, a spacious kitchen with center island and a separate casual eating area.  Featuring a focal point fireplace with French doors on both sides, the family room opens up to a center island chef’s kitchen with great prep and storage space.  A larger than expected casual eating area adds to the appeal. These areas all open out to the entertainer’s patio and backyard and will certainly be the heart of the home where everyone will gather. Near the entry of the home, you will find a large bedroom (currently used as an office), full bathroom and inside laundry - these complete the downstairs level. Upstairs the master suite is anchored by a stunning floor to ceiling fireplace that is flanked by French doors which allow for an abundance of natural light and lead out to a private deck overlooking the entertainer’s yard. The master also offers dual closets (one being a large walk-in) and a spacious en-suite with dual sinks, a large soaking tub and separate shower. Separated from the master suite and across a catwalk, are three additional spacious bedrooms, all with high ceilings and a third full bath.  The two front facing bedrooms share access to a patio above the garage. The backyard features a large covered patio with mature landscaping and plenty of room for entertaining with multiple seating and grassy areas. A three-car garage and walking distance to Lake Mission Viejo and shopping, makes this home a must see!
