Property Description
Welcome to 18 Montana Del Lago. Beautifully updated and move-in ready, this two-bedroom, two-bath condo in the desirable Montana Del Lago community offers a thoughtfully designed two-level floor plan with a bedroom and full bath on each level—providing flexibility and privacy for guests, a home office, or everyday living. The light and bright lower level features new luxury vinyl plank flooring and a beautifully updated kitchen with contemporary cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a generous pantry. Upstairs, newer carpeting creates a comfortable retreat, while the updated bath features a newly finished walk-in shower. All-new windows add to the home’s fresh, updated feel. Storage is plentiful throughout, and an inside stackable washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. Step outside to your private patio, an inviting space for morning coffee, barbecuing, outdoor dining, or entertaining. A private one-car garage with a new garage door opener provides secure parking and additional storage. Purchased and extensively updated by the current owners in 2022, the home has been used only as a second residence and has been exceptionally lightly lived in. The location is equally appealing. Enjoy the convenience of being just a short walk from the lake, shopping and dining, and nearby trails and recreation. In addition to the Montana Del Lago community pool, residents also enjoy the extensive SAMLARC amenities, including the Beach Club and Lagoon, four Jr. Olympic-sized pools, 13 parks, playgrounds, picnic and sports facilities, miles of trails, and year-round community events. Turnkey, thoughtfully upgraded, and ideally located, this is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the Rancho Santa Margarita lifestyle.
