About 22235 Vista Verde Drive
Privacy, light, and space take center stage in this corner-unit Vista Verde standout. With no one above you and an end-unit position that lets the light pour in, 22235 Vista Verde lives big across 1,414 square feet and two thoughtfully designed levels. Downstairs is all about easy flow and everyday comfort: tile floors underfoot, a spacious living room that opens to dining and kitchen, a convenient half bath, and a dedicated laundry room (because real life happens here). The kitchen checks all the right boxes with granite countertops and stainless steel Samsung appliances—ready for weeknight dinners or weekend hosting alike. Slide open the doors and the living space spills onto a private patio framed by mature trees. Morning coffee, evening BBQs, or a quiet moment with a book—this is your own little outdoor escape. Upstairs keeps things cozy and practical. Both bedrooms are thoughtfully tucked away, including a generous primary suite complete with a walk-in closet, dual-sink bath, and an enclosed office/work area that makes working from home feel like a perk, not a compromise. The second bedroom is spacious and bright, paired with a full hallway bath that’s perfect for guests or everyday use. And then there’s the lifestyle bonus: HOA perks include two parking spaces and all the benefits of a membership to the Lake Forest Beach & Tennis Club. Think pool days, spa nights, gym sessions, pickleball matches, tennis rallies, basketball games, and weekends by the lagoon—without ever leaving the neighborhood. Low-maintenance living, high-reward amenities, and a home that feels far more like a house than a townhome. Vista Verde may sound like a dream… but this one’s very real.
