Description
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. Upstairs, a huge bonus room with built-ins offers exceptional flexibility for a media room, office, playroom, homework space, gym, or secondary living area.

The backyard is a true standout. Completed in 2026, the new pool, spa, built-in BBQ/grill, fire feature, and hardscape create a private outdoor setting designed for entertaining, relaxing, and everyday enjoyment. The modern pool and spa design, artificial turf, lounge areas, and built-in outdoor kitchen give the yard a clean, low-maintenance, resort-style feel.
