About this home

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.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1979, this property is well-maintained with significant functional upgrades like PEX re-piping and mostly newer double-pane windows. However, the kitchen, while clean and functional, features dated white cabinets, mixed appliance finishes (older black range), and a style that suggests a renovation 15-20+ years ago, or original with minor updates. The bathrooms also show older tiling and fixtures. The property is aged but maintained, requiring aesthetic updates to key areas to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Panoramic Views: The property boasts sweeping, unobstructed views of Lake Mission Viejo and the majestic Saddleback Mountains from nearly every room, offering stunning sunrise to sunset vistas and prime viewing for fireworks and concerts.
Rare Penthouse Opportunity: This is a unique chance to acquire one of only four upper-level penthouses in the exclusive Mallorca community, highlighting its rarity and desirability.
Resort-Style Community & Lake Amenities: Residents benefit from a gated community with 24/7 security, two pools/spas, private beaches, BBQs, and a Lake Mission Viejo membership providing access to boating, fishing, and seasonal events.
Strategic & Convenient Location: The location offers excellent proximity to Plaza Del Lago shops/restaurants, award-winning schools, easy freeway access, Mission Hospital, parks, and John Wayne Airport.
Key System Upgrades: Recent upgrades, including mostly newer double-pane windows and a full PEX re-pipe, provide enhanced peace of mind and reduce potential future maintenance concerns.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential for Updates: Built in 1979, the property, while functional, may feature some dated interior finishes (e.g., 'clean and functional' kitchen) that could necessitate modernization for contemporary tastes.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $685 monthly association fee is substantial and represents a significant recurring cost, which could impact buyer affordability and overall carrying costs.
Detached Garage: While a 2-car garage is provided, its detached nature offers less direct convenience compared to an attached garage, particularly during inclement weather.
