22241 Birchleaf Mission Viejo, CA 92692

This is the cash-only fixer you've been watching for — 3,520 sq ft of potential on a premier street in guard-gated Canyon Crest, just above Lake Mission Viejo. Spacious proportions (4 beds, 4½ baths), an empty pool overlooking the lake, and resort-style HOA amenities create an exceptional canvas for investors or end-users ready to renovate and reap the rewards.

4 large bedrooms (downstairs en-suite plus three up), 4½ baths, and a bonus loft/den give every generation a place to gather or retreat.

Panoramic water vistas set the stage for a re-imagined outdoor oasis; the existing pool is drained and awaiting restoration.

Three-Car Garage & Wide Driveway: Ideal for multiple vehicles, a workshop, or toy storage.


Cash-Only / Sold As-Is: This home requires substantial updates throughout, including kitchen, flooring, fixtures, and pool resurfacing.

A Canvas for Your Vision
The interior enjoys volume ceilings and abundant natural light but needs a full cosmetic refresh. Imagine modern flooring, designer lighting, a chef-caliber kitchen, and spa-quality baths that match the home's grand scale. With thoughtful improvements, this “diamond in the rough” can rival neighboring remodels that command premium prices.


Canyon Crest Lifestyle
Residents of this 24-hour guard-gated enclave enjoy amenities rivaling a private club: three pools, lighted tennis courts, fitness center, playgrounds, BBQ areas, and a clubhouse suitable for events, in addition to access to Lake Mission Viejo

Just a short drive or healthy walk and you're at Lake Mission Viejo, where boating, swimming, fishing, and free summer concerts extend your backyard fun.
