Property Description
Back on the market at no fault of the seller, buyer could not perform. Welcome to 5 Galisteo Drive, a rare 4-bedroom opportunity in the highly sought-after Cabrillo Vista community of Rancho Santa Margarita offering an exceptional combination of location, layout, and value that is hard to find at this price point. Situated on a private single-loaded street and desirable corner lot, this home captures stunning panoramic mountain and hillside views while offering added privacy, minimal traffic, and abundant natural light throughout. Thoughtfully updated, the home features paid-off solar (in escrow), a recently replaced A/C system (within the last 6 months), and a freshly painted exterior providing both comfort and long-term efficiency. Inside, the well-designed floor plan offers a bright and inviting living space with laminate flooring on the main level and seamless flow into the upgraded kitchen, complete with granite countertops, center island, white cabinetry, and custom tile backsplash. Additional highlights include freshly painted living room, master bedroom, bedroom 2, and all bathrooms, plantation shutters, upgraded lighting, built-in cabinetry, and mirrored closet doors throughout. The spacious primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, and a generous walk-in closet. Step outside to a low-maintenance backyard featuring artificial turf and two separate patio areas perfect for entertaining or relaxing year-round. Ideally located near scenic hiking and biking trails, parks, and top-rated schools including St. Junípero Serra Catholic, Tijeras Creek Elementary, and Arroyo Vista Middle. Residents also enjoy access to SAMLARC amenities, including pools, parks, a beach club, and year-round community events—all with the benefit of just one HOA. With limited 4-bedroom homes available in Rancho Santa Margarita under $1,200,000, this is a standout opportunity you won't want to miss.
