Property Description
This stunning Melinda Heights residence in the desirable Estrella Vista community has been beautifully updated with designer finishes throughout, offering both style and functionality for today's modern living. Spanning approximately 2,400 sq. ft. on an expansive 5,700 sq. ft. lot, this home features 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, including a convenient downstairs bedroom and bath ideal for in-laws, guests or a private office. The impressive open floor plan welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and rich hardwood floors that flow through the formal living and dining rooms. The chef-inspired kitchen has been tastefully remodeled with a new cabinetry piece featuring a built-in wine rack, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a 5-burner gas cooktop, and a double oven. A breakfast bar and casual dining area overlook the inviting family room with a cozy fireplace, creating the perfect space for gatherings. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with tray ceilings, a custom-organized walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom showcasing a mosaic-tiled walk-in shower and separate soaking tub. The private backyard, with no neighbors directly behind, has been thoughtfully designed for entertaining. Enjoy an extended covered patio, built-in BBQ with bar seating, sink, refrigerator, fire pit and fountain features, and a low-maintenance artificial grass area ideal for lounging or playing. Additional highlights include a three-car garage with freshly painted flooring, built-in cabinets, hanging storage racks, and a 220V outlet for EV charging, separate laundry room with sink, and a Quiet Cool whole-house fan for added comfort. Located within the boundaries of the award-winning Melinda Heights Elementary School and the SAMLARC community, residents enjoy access to premier amenities—4 community pools, 12 parks, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, and basketball courts, and extensive hiking trails. The highlight of SAMLARC living is the Beach Club, a resort-style oasis featuring a sand-bottom swimming lagoon, peaceful lounge areas shaded by sycamore trees, and soft, fine sand for a true coastal escape. The crown jewel, Lago Santa Margarita, offers scenic lake views, five fitness stations, and fishing spots—all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Saddleback Mountains. This exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy elevated living in one of RSM's most sought-after neighborhoods.
