Situated on an impressive lot next door to Castille Elementary, this dearly loved home offers an incredible opportunity in Mission Viejo. The private gated courtyard provides tons of additional outdoor living space as you approach the front entry. With 4 bedrooms, around 2,000 square feet and an almost 12,000 sq. ft. lot, this home is a rare offering in this price range. The traditional floorplan features a spacious living room with wood burning fireplace and picture windows to the courtyard. A dining room or small den opens up to the updated kitchen featuring wood cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The desirable floorplan continues into a nice sized family room that has sliding glass doors to the backyard patio and entertaining space. A desirable downstairs bedroom and bath with walk-in shower can be found off the family room. Individual laundry room and direct garage access are bonus amenities. Upstairs features two additional guest bedrooms and guest bath in the hallway. The primary bedroom has vaulted ceilings, a walk in closet and ensuite bath. The oversized lot offers endless opportunities to transform the outdoor space and make it your own. The expansive space wraps around the house and offers many access points from the front courtyard to the back yard. The sense of space is enhanced with no neighbor on one side of the home. Two car garage and long driveway with additional parking add even more value.
