New AC unit installed. Welcome to 248 Montana Del Lago Drive, a beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom condo nestled in the heart of Rancho Santa Margarita. This 1,306 square-foot residence offers an open floor plan featuring dual master suites, each with its own full bathroom, and a convenient half bath on the main living level. Recent upgrades enhance the home's appeal, including new sinks, countertops, wood flooring, and fresh interior paint. The light-filled living and dining areas boast a cozy fireplace and newer laminate wood flooring, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, equipped with updated faucets and appliances, features an eat-in nook and a balcony where you can enjoy natural light and a refreshing breeze. Additional improvements include new tile and trim in the second bathroom, water-efficient toilets in all bathrooms, new blinds on all windows, child tamper-proof outlets downstairs, bug-proof screens upstairs and on the sliding door, a remodeled master bathroom, and a recently replaced water heater. The attached 2-car tandem garage provides ample storage space, and with no neighbors above or below, you'll enjoy added privacy.

Located just steps away from the pool, lake, restaurants, and shopping centers, and close to Tijeras Creek Golf Course and hiking and biking trails, this home provides the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Belonging to the highly-rated Saddleback Valley Unified School District and with no Mello Roos, this property is a must-see. Fire place decorative.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
