Welcome to 18 Via Pelayo, a beautifully upgraded 4 bedroom plus oversized bonus room home in the desirable Cantamar neighborhood of Rancho Santa Margarita. Set on a quiet street, this 2,763 sq. ft. residence combines thoughtful interior improvements, major system upgrades, and a newly completed resort-style backyard.
The home features a remodeled kitchen, completely remodeled primary bathroom, newer PEX re-pipe, newer furnace, air conditioning and ducting, plus an owned 34-panel solar production system.
