With sweeping views of Lake Mission Viejo and the majestic Saddleback Mountains, this rare upper-level penthouse offers one of the most breathtaking vantage points in the entire community. Nearly every room—living, dining, primary bedroom, and kitchen—showcases the views, not just glimpses. From sunrise to sunset, the ever-changing light over the water is simply stunning. West-facing and filled with natural light, the home welcomes you with a calm, breezy vibe from the moment you walk in. The spacious balcony is covered for year-round enjoyment and features two retractable awnings, giving you the flexibility of full sun or relaxing shade. Whether you're reading during a rainy day or hosting friends on a summer night, this space delivers. And when it comes to fireworks on August 30th, you’ll have a front-row seat from your very own balcony—no crowds, no parking, just magic. You'll also hear the summer concerts from the lake as you BBQ and entertain. Inside, the living room features a cozy gas fireplace and a large sliding glass door to the balcony. The dining room offers another sliding door, making indoor-outdoor entertaining easy. The kitchen is clean and functional, with a large window framing that incredible view. The sunken primary bedroom is generously sized and also faces the lake—wake up each day to a view that never gets old. The second bedroom is set toward the front of the home and includes a ceiling fan and closet. The hallway offers plenty of storage for your linens and a full-size interior laundry area adds convenience, and your 2-car detached garage is just steps away. Additional upgrades include mostly newer double-pane windows and a full PEX re-pipe for added peace of mind. This is a gated and monitored community with 24/7 security and resort-style amenities: two pools and spas (one near the home), private beaches, swimming areas, BBQs, picnic spots, and more. As a Lake Mission Viejo member, you’ll also enjoy boating, fishing, summer concerts, and seasonal events. You’re close to Plaza Del Lago, with its shops, restaurants, and lakefront patios—ideal for wine nights or weekend brunches. With award-winning schools, easy freeway access, Mission Hospital, parks, dog parks, and even John Wayne Airport just a short drive away, the location is as convenient as it is scenic. There are only four penthouses in the Mallorca community—this is a rare opportunity to own one. Come see it, fall in love, and make it your own.
