Property Description

Tucked away in one of RSM's quiet & established neighborhoods, Melinda Heights, this recently remodeled home offers 3 beds, 2.5 baths, & 1,427 SF of thoughtfully updated living. Blending modern upgrades with everyday functionality, this home is very comfortable & move-in ready! The main living areas feature LVP flooring with 7” baseboards adding a contemporary feel throughout. The spacious family room includes recessed lighting & a stunning Asterix granite fireplace surround, creating a warm & inviting space to relax or entertain. The kitchen has been completely updated with paint, granite counters, travertine backsplash, & new (2024) LG appliances: range, dishwasher, oven, & refrigerator (built-in whiskey ice maker). Slider doors access the backyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort & outdoor enjoyment. All bathrooms have been tastefully renovated with designer finishes. Featuring a custom walk-in shower with Sebastian Gray marble mosaic tile, bronze aluminum trim, & a granite vanity, the primary bath was designed with comfort & style in mind. Herringbone marble tile, quartz counters, & a sleek, updated vanity have been added to the downstairs half bath while the upper guest bath offers a refined look with marble counters & modern finishes, creating continuity throughout. Newer interior improvements include: HVAC system (2020) with high-flow air vents, Ecobee smart thermostat, bedroom carpeting, & interior paint (2021). Recent exterior enhancements: Almost all-new paint (2025), refreshed front & rear landscaping, & a durable Duramax vinyl fence (2023). The finished garage is equipped with a 40-gallon Signature Series water heater (2020) & a Grizzl-E 32 Amp/220V electric car charger. Located in the desirable Melinda Heights neighborhood, proximity to the award-winning Melinda Heights Elementary School is valuable, just a few blocks away. Nearby Altisima Park offers a junior Olympic-size pool, basketball & tennis courts, baseball & soccer fields, picnic areas, a tot lot, & more. With convenient access to the 241 Foothill Transportation Corridor, this community offers both scenic surroundings & commuter-friendly convenience. Residents of RSM enjoy access to an array of resort-style amenities, including the scenic RSM Lake, popular Lago Santa Margarita beach club & lagoon, several community pools, sports courts, 13 parks, playgrounds, & miles of hiking & biking trails that connect directly to the expansive O'Neill Regional Park.
