About 26 Mercato

Welcome to 26 Mercato in the highly sought-after Marina Hills community of Laguna Niguel. This beautifully upgraded 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 1,559 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. From the moment you arrive, the landscaped courtyard and wrap-around patio invite you to relax outdoors. Gather around the built-in gas BBQ, cozy up by the firepit, or unwind in the private spa with waterfall feature—this backyard was made for enjoying California living. Inside, the home is filled with natural light thanks to soaring ceilings, a skylight, and large windows. A stacked stone fireplace anchors the living room, while crown molding, updated lighting, and fresh finishes add warmth throughout. A separate dining area with nearby wine storage and built-in cabinetry, making entertaining effortless. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, soft close drawers and cabinets, large pantry with pull out shelves, and a lovely view of the backyard and soothing waterfall feature. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet in the the remodeled bath with a sleek walk-in shower, and great storage in the dual sink vanity area. Two additional bedrooms down the hall share a well-appointed full bath with tub and shower, while a downstairs powder room has also been tastefully updated. Additional highlights include PEX re-piping, dual-pane windows, ceiling fans, central AC, a Nest thermostat, Ring doorbell, and an epoxy-finished garage with recessed lighting, keyless entry keypad, MyQ garage door opener, ample storage, and a generous driveway. The home has been repiped with Pex piping, and the exterior of the home and backyard pergola have been freshly painted within the past year.
