Nestled at the end of a double cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Las Flores community of Rancho Santa Margarita, this warm, inviting, move-in ready 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers flexible living space with rich hardwood floors, solid wood cabinetry, and updated finishes throughout.

From the moment you enter, elevated ceilings and a distinctive octagonal tray ceiling detail set the tone for the charm and elegance found throughout. The bright, inviting open-concept kitchen and family room features granite counters, a beautiful mosaic backsplash, and picturesque views of the backyard oasis and lush greenbelt. A downstairs bedroom provides ideal flex space for a home office or guest room.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with a private balcony, an updated bath with separate soaker tub and shower, dual sinks, and generous closet space. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath with shower and dual sinks, and the laundry room is conveniently located on the same level.

Your private backyard oasis features a spa, built-in BBQ with counter seating, fire feature, and plenty of room to entertain on your own sunny slope under the California sky.

Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, this home includes a whole-house PEX repipe, an American Standard Platinum heating and cooling system with updated ductwork and heat pump, and an EV-ready garage with an electric vehicle charger. The prepaid solar lease transfers to the new owner -- no monthly payments, with service and maintenance included -- providing energy efficiency and long-term savings.

Located in the heart of Las Flores, you're just moments from resort-style community amenities including a Jr. Olympic-sized pool, spa, splash pad, playgrounds, and scenic hiking and biking trails. Residents also enjoy pickleball, tennis, and sport courts, plus year-round community events. A dedicated community path leads directly to top-rated Las Flores TK-8, complete with a newly approved crossing guard at Meandering Trail. Award-winning Tesoro High School is just about a mile away.
