In the sought-after 1980-built Finesterra on the Green planned community, that also provides membership in the Lake Mission Viejo HOA, is this prime 2-story townhouse style condo with one of the best layouts in the bunch. While the unit is technically 2-story, the main living space is all on the second floor with the ground floor reserved for the 2-car Garage that has a bonus storage alcove. The open concept Living Room and Dining Room space is quite roomy and features a vaulted ceiling over the step-down Living Room portion that is anchored by a brick gas fireplace. To the left of the fireplace is a bonus Den that makes a great office or a guest room for overnight visitors. To the right of the fireplace and through a sliding glass door is the sunny front Patio with treetop views. Through the Dining Room is the spacious updated Kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, a nook with breakfast bar, Laundry area and a sliding glass door out to the private rear Patio. Just off the Living Room is the home's Primary Suite that also has a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, full Bathroom and a sliding door to the front Patio. The second Bedroom and second Bathroom are at the end of the main hall; the second Bedroom also has a sliding door to the rear Patio. There is 5-years-new central HVAC and a re-lined incoming plumbing system. The monthly HOA fee includes water and trash as well as access to the community pool and a putting green. The separate semi-annual Lake Mission Viejo fee includes access to Lake Mission Viejo's beaches, boat rentals and events. 5-7 minutes drive to the 5 Fwy and a hop, skip and a jump to the lake. This is Mission Viejo planned community living at its finest!
