Welcome to 5 Lavanda Street – a thoughtfully upgraded 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in the heart of Rancho Mission Viejo, offering modern efficiency and peace of mind, with lower HOA and Mello Roos fees compared to newer RMV neighborhoods. This residence features a completely paid-off 5.6 kW Tesla solar system (14 panels), two Tesla Powerwalls (27 kW total backup), a whole house fan, Nest thermostat, Smartlock, WiFi-enabled garage opener, and a video doorbell with full indoor/outdoor surveillance wiring. The seller is also willing to provide a credit to help the buyer buy down their interest rate. Built in 2015, the 2,038 sq ft home sits on a 2,782 sq ft lot and greets you with curb appeal, a gated front entry, and dual single-car garages. The fully paved backyard with six custom concrete planters creates a low-maintenance outdoor retreat ideal for entertaining. Inside, designer touches elevate every space—from upgraded tile flooring and an elegant spiral staircase to European Quartz countertops and premium hardware. The chef’s kitchen boasts a Thermador stainless steel appliance suite, including a triple oven, griddle stovetop, pro hood, and warming drawer. The home is also pre-configured for easy conversion of the half bath into a full bathroom and includes two dedicated home theater power outlets. Located in the award-winning Capistrano Unified School District (Esencia K–8, San Juan Hills High), residents enjoy resort-style amenities such as pools, fitness centers, hiking and biking trails, a coffee house, arcade, clubhouse rentals, EV charging stations, NEV access, and the Ranch Ride shuttle. All just minutes from beautiful beaches, shopping, and dining.
