Property Description

Exceptional Privacy, Rare Lot, and Turnkey Upgrades in the gated Melrose Community! Welcome to one of the most coveted homes in the gated enclave of Melrose, nestled in Southwest Mission Viejo — where thoughtfully maintained surroundings, privacy, and comfort converge for effortless family living. Situated on an extraordinary oversized lot, this beautifully remodeled residence offers an expansive wraparound backyard rarely found in the neighborhood, with no homes behind, creating an idyllic backdrop of mature trees and sunshine throughout the day. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home delivers the ideal blend of privacy and convenience, just moments from shopping, dining, parks, and top-rated schools. Zoned for award-winning Capistrano Unified schools, and offering access to the exclusive Mission Viejo Lake — with swimming, kayaking, concerts, and family-friendly activities — this property presents a lifestyle as vibrant as the home itself. Every detail has been upgraded with care: brand new luxury flooring, modern appliances, PEX re-piping, new HVAC system, electrical panel, and even a Tesla charging station. The stylishly redesigned backyard is perfect for hosting, play, or simply unwinding in your own outdoor sanctuary. Inside, the flexible layout allows for up to 4 bedrooms or a spacious office/media room, adapting seamlessly to your evolving needs. The Melrose community offers a picturesque setting with HOA-maintained front yard landscaping, gated security, and access to a resort-style pool and spa—all included for a low monthly fee. This is truly a move-in-ready opportunity for buyers seeking a peaceful, convenient, and upscale neighborhood.
