27092 Encinas Mission Viejo, CA 92692

Tucked behind a private vinyl gate and manicured hedges, this beautifully reimagined single-story home feels like a hidden garden retreat in the heart of Mission Viejo. The lush front courtyard welcomes you with blooming jasmine, mature fruit trees, and a charming outdoor dining nook that sets the tone before you ever step inside. Vaulted ceilings and warm wood-toned flooring create an airy, inviting feel throughout the main living spaces, while the designer kitchen serves as the true centerpiece of the home. Custom white and sage cabinetry, quartz countertops, handcrafted tile backsplash, brass fixtures, and Bosch appliances blend warmth and sophistication with thoughtful functionality. Details like the hidden pantry microwave, built-in coffee bar, pot filler, Blanco granite composite sink, white oak shelving, and cozy window seat overlooking the gardens elevate the space beyond the ordinary. A flexible office with French doors and a built-in quartz desk can easily function as a fourth bedroom. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated, while recent improvements including updated flooring, recessed lighting, EV charging, tankless water heater, HVAC and ducting, and upgraded garage systems make the home feel truly turnkey. Outside, the private backyard continues the experience with paver hardscape, turf, landscape lighting, and mature tangerine, lemon, and persimmon trees. Ideally located near Carl Hankey TK-8, Cordova Park, and the Felipe Tennis Pavilion, this home blends thoughtful design, comfort, and everyday California living and Lake Mission Viejo access.
