72 Sandcastle, Aliso Viejo

This 2-bedroom, 1¾-bath Aliso Viejo home has 1,142 square feet, was built in 1992, and opens with a private entry foyer on the ground floor. All of the main living spaces are upstairs, which gives the home a quiet, elevated feel, filled with light and set apart from street activity.

Vaulted ceilings rise over the main living areas. Fresh interior paint in a soft neutral palette runs throughout, and dual-pane windows with decorative grids and plantation shutters let the sunlight in. Designer carpet and linen-style porcelain tile add warmth and texture underfoot. The living room centers on a marble tile inset gas fireplace with a pull-down TV mount, and the spacious dining room has air conditioning and a three-blade ceiling fan.

The kitchen has crisp white cabinetry with soft-close drawers, pull-out drawers, a spice cabinet, a large closet-size pantry, under-cabinet and recessed lighting, and a silverware organizer. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and plenty of prep space make it a kitchen that works for serious cooking, entertaining and everyday meals.

The primary suite has a vaulted ceiling, mirrored wardrobe doors, custom closet organizers and extra storage above the closets. Its bathroom has generous counter space, linen storage, a second closet, a LUXE bidet and coastal-inspired finishes. The second bedroom works as a guest room, home office or creative space, with a ceiling fan, closet organizer and mirrored wardrobe doors, and the nearby bathroom has a second LUXE bidet.

Step out to the private southwest-facing balcony, which feels open and private at the same time. It's a sunny spot for morning coffee or winding down in the evening.

More upgrades: six-panel doors, an attic fan, a PEX repipe, a saltwater softener system and reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink. The one-car enclosed garage has direct access, and residents enjoy a community pool and spa, with shopping, dining, parks and schools nearby.
