Nestled on a premium lot and enhanced by over $120K in hand-selected upgrades, 1281 Windmill Rd is more than just a beautifully built home—it’s a lifestyle. With a peaceful setting just steps from scenic Boulder Pond, Rienda Plunge Pool, and the future K–8 school, this home offers a rare blend of comfort, community, and connection to nature. A trio of outdoor living spaces—the backyard, California room, and balcony—provide multiple ways to enjoy the sunshine and RMV lifestyle. The entry opens to a versatile flex space—ideal as a home office, media room, or play area—that extends effortlessly into a covered California room and private backyard retreat. Large sliding doors create a seamless indoor-outdoor sanctuary, perfect for slow mornings or lively gatherings. At the heart of the home, the kitchen blends thoughtful design with everyday ease. Handcrafted Zellige tile adds artisanal character, while quartz countertops, island with bar seating, and extensive cabinetry deliver both beauty and practicality. The dining area offers a warm space to gather for casual dinners or weekend entertaining, with a custom dry bar adding a touch of elegance and utility. Just beyond, a sunlit balcony becomes your second outdoor retreat, while the space flows naturally into a cozy and welcoming living room. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a walk-in closet with organizer system and a spa-inspired bath with dual sinks and an oversized walk-in shower. Two secondary bedrooms share an updated bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, kids, or creative space. Throughout the home, wide-plank LVP flooring creates a clean, cohesive feel, while smart upgrades including an Ecobee thermostat, keyless entry, and fully owned solar with battery backup offer comfort and energy efficiency. The garage is well-appointed with epoxy floors, built-in cabinetry, overhead racks, and a keypad entry. A whole-house Nuvia water softener and reverse osmosis filtration system round out a long list of thoughtful enhancements that elevate daily living. The backyard is professionally landscaped with lush greenery, ambient lighting, and an underground drip irrigation system, providing a low-maintenance retreat that feels like a natural extension of the home. Rancho Mission Viejo is a resort-inspired community where scenic trails, dog parks, fitness centers, community farms, coffee shops, playgrounds, and sparkling pools come together to create a vibrant and active lifestyle.
