More Insights

Built in 1977 (49 years old).
Condition: This property boasts significant recent functional upgrades, including a newly installed roof, owned solar energy system, approximately five-year-old HVAC, tankless water heater, and top-of-the-line Andersen windows, making it highly energy-efficient and mechanically sound. The exterior and backyard have also been recently updated for low maintenance. While the kitchen features dated tile countertops and flooring, and the bathrooms show older styles, they are clean and well-maintained, requiring no immediate functional repairs. The property is move-in ready, but a buyer might consider cosmetic updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to align with modern aesthetics.

About this home

A rare opportunity to own a Mission Viejo home where the most important investments are already complete. Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Timberline community, this residence stands apart for the caliber and practicality of its upgrades. From the newly installed composition shingle roof to the owned solar energy system, this home is designed for lower monthly utility costs and long-term peace of mind from day one. Inside, the multi-level floor plan offers architectural character and everyday functionality with formal living and dining rooms, a family room, vaulted ceilings, and two fireplaces that create both warmth and volume. Natural light fills the home through top-of-the-line Andersen windows installed throughout, enhancing comfort, efficiency, and sound insulation. Major systems have already been thoughtfully addressed, including an approximately five-year-old HVAC system and a tankless water heater—significant, often overlooked improvements that add real value and reliability. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with a sitting area, skylights, exterior terrace, walk-in closet, and dual-sink bath. Outdoors, a full rear deck extends the living space, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Below, one of the largest backyards in Timberline has been redesigned with low-maintenance hardscape, artificial turf, pavers, and underground drainage—eliminating weekend upkeep while preserving a clean, refined aesthetic. Additional highlights include a 220V EV connection, water softening and reverse osmosis systems, a whole house fan, rain gutters, and extensive garage storage. Located near Timberline’s parks, pools, trails, top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and the 5 freeway, 23801 Birch Lane offers a rare combination of location, preparation, and long-term confidence—best experienced in person.
