7 Via Berrendo
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688

At 3,003 square feet, one of the largest floor plans in Melinda Heights — and one of Rancho Santa Margarita's most prestigious and coveted communities. This beautifully prepared 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac and delivers the floor plan buyers search for: primary suite on the main level. The first impression sets the tone — elegant columns, rich brick detailing, a stately palm, manicured lawn, and a deep three-car driveway frame a covered front porch that invites you to linger before you even step inside. Through the front door, the foyer opens to soaring cathedral ceilings with recessed lighting and a vast, flowing living and dining room that announces immediately — this is a home that lives larger than its address. Move deeper and the space transforms again: the kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room unfold together into one expansive connected gathering place — granite countertops, large island, pantry, a gas fireplace anchoring the family room, and a door that invites you to the backyard where a motorized awning casts shade over your afternoon, new side fencing frames the space, and a natural slope rising behind creates a seclusion that feels designed just for you. Back inside, the main-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary — spacious and serene, with a large soaking tub, oversized marble double-sink vanity, a beautifully appointed shower, and a walk-in closet that impresses. Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms share a full bath remodeled in 2024, alongside a massive bonus room with built-in desk and cabinetry that transforms effortlessly from private office to game room, media room, or fifth bedroom. As a SAMLARC member, you have access to 13 parks, 4 pools, a Beach Club Lagoon and a variety of events and programs that enrich the “Lifestyle Village” experience. This is the one.
