Very rare opportunity in the beautiful neighborhood of Cortez in South Mission Viejo. This home has 4 bedrooms and 2 .5 baths with 2,512 square feet of living space. In addition to the four bedrooms, the upstairs has as an open loft/office with vaulted ceilings. This home is on a great cul-de-sac location and offers an expansive entertainers' backyard. As you enter this home you enter through the custom craftsman wood door into foyer + formal living room. Fantastic large windows let the natural light fill this room which carries into the formal dining room. The kitchen space is perfect with a window that opens up to the backyard, making BBQing a fun and easy activity. Laundry room and family room downstairs with guest bath and direct garage access. The garage is very spacious with epoxy floors. Upstairs is bright and open with a true master suite with tall ceilings and a large master bathroom with a nice sized walk-in closet. The 3 other bedrooms are great in size with a full bathroom with tub. The backyard is amazing and because of the rare lot shape and location, the openness and size is extraordinary. Truly charming and excessive in size with a private feel. Six large carrotwood trees line the backyard to make a shaded resort-like feel. Don't miss out on this opportunity as this home is a must see.
