This warm and well-maintained 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome also features a generous loft that can easily be converted into a third bedroom, office, or bonus space—offering flexibility to meet your needs. What truly sets this home apart is its private backyard, which backs to a quiet, natural hillside—no neighbors behind you, just peaceful greenery. It’s a rare level of privacy in this community and gives the outdoor space a calm, tucked-away feel that’s perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, the home offers a bright, open layout with an attached split 2-car garage, central AC, and tasteful updates throughout. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry, and under-cabinet lighting for a modern but welcoming feel. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and dual vanities. A second full bath and the open loft round out the upper level. Portico residents enjoy access to a private community pool and spa located within the gates—just a short walk from the front door. In addition, homeowners have access to the Rancho Carrillo Swim Center nearby, featuring a resort-style Olympic-sized pool, spa, clubhouse, and walking trails.
