About This Property

Welcome to 26541 Valpariso Drive, Mission Viejo — Madrid Collection | Casa Sarga Plan 67. Light, open, and transformed from the inside out, this exceptional residence offers the largest floor plan in the coveted Madrid collection — five bedrooms, an office as a downstairs bedroom option, three baths, and 2,882 square feet on a 6,272 square foot lot — reborn with an extraordinary level of craftsmanship. Impeccable curb appeal sets the stage — a contemporary privacy wall, updated concrete driveway, and reimagined front walkway and porch welcome you with quiet elegance. Step through the dual leaded-glass entry doors into a breathtaking two-story foyer, where an exquisite wrought iron circular staircase commands the space with effortless drama. Warm luxury vinyl plank flooring flows seamlessly throughout, recessed LED lighting and updated fixtures cast every room in a curated glow, and recent paint, updated windows and sliders bathe the home in natural light. The fireplace-warmed family room — a natural gathering place — and formal living and dining rooms feel polished and purposeful. A downstairs office with a closet offers the flexibility of a sixth bedroom. A separate laundry room adds everyday ease. The kitchen was refreshed in 2026 with sleek quartz countertops complementing the existing cabinetry and stainless appliances. The primary suite is a true retreat with a spa-style bath showcasing a recently replaced walk-in shower, double vanity, updated mirrors and lighting. The secondary bath has been refreshed with an updated countertop, fixtures and faucets. The entire home has been repiped with PEX and features new attic insulation with all access holes sealed — major systems upgrades that deliver lasting peace of mind alongside a new electric panel (2024), recently replaced water heater, and new EV charging outlet (2024). The three-car garage features an epoxied floor, built-in storage, and a spacious driveway offering ample guest parking. The backyard is extraordinarily private — a generous patio, freshly sodded lawn, and a thriving orchard of orange, lemon, apple, and tangerine trees make every season feel like harvest time. Membership to the Lake Mission Viejo Association includes two beaches, swimming, boating, fishing, concerts, camps and year-round activities for a very low fee twice a year — no traditional HOA. Close to shopping, parks, and top schools. You will not want to miss South County living at its finest
