Former model home meets effortless resort-style living in this beautifully appointed 55+ residence, just 3½ years old. Thoughtfully curated from the start, the home showcases the elevated details that distinguish a model—custom millwork wall treatments, cased windows, linen draperies, surround sound, solar system and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Oversized modern black iron chandeliers make a dramatic statement in both the dining area and primary suite, while designer lighting and a living room ceiling fan complete the sophisticated interiors. At the heart of the home, a chef-inspired kitchen pairs crisp white shaker cabinetry with marbleized white quartz countertops and a beautiful natural white tile backsplash. The impressive GE Monogram appliance suite includes a 42-inch built-in refrigerator and 42-inch six-burner professional-style gas range beneath a commercial-inspired hood with infrared heat lamps. Custom pantry rollouts, deep pot-and-pan drawers and abundant storage make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. A spectacular four-panel stacking glass door creates the quintessential Southern California indoor-outdoor lifestyle, seamlessly connecting the great room to the California Room. Saltillo-style tile adds warmth and character to this inviting outdoor space, where an impressive built-in tiled island features a Forno Classico Piccolo wood-fired pizza oven—perfect for relaxed evenings and entertaining. Oversized decorative pots, a built-in outdoor exercise bike and an easy-maintenance landscape complete the private retreat. Designed with flexibility in mind, the main level offers two ensuite bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with an adjoining retreat/office with a single-hung French door to the patio. A separate powder bath serves guests, while the first-floor laundry room features charming white penny tile flooring, upper cabinetry and hookups for a washer and gas dryer. Upstairs, a private third bedroom and full bath create an ideal space for visiting family and friends while preserving separation from the main-level living areas. Perhaps best of all is the location—just steps from The Perch, with its 55+ pool, spa and community California Room, and within walking distance of the new Gavilan Ridge Club. Beautifully finished, barely lived in and designed to embrace the relaxed luxury of Rancho Mission Viejo, this former model offers the rare opportunity to enjoy designer-level upgrades without the wait.
