Welcome to Canyon Lake - one of only five gated cities in California! This updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home sits on an elevated corner lot on a quiet street, offering privacy and lake views from the top floor. Inside you'll find LVP flooring throughout, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open floor plan where the kitchen flows into the dining and family rooms. Vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, double entry doors, and abundant natural light give the home a bright, airy feel - and there's room to add a pool in the spacious yard.  The real value here is the lifestyle. Canyon Lake is a private, guard-gated resort community built around a nearly 400-acre lake with 14+ miles of shoreline - an amenity package you won't find in most neighborhoods. Residents enjoy exclusive lake access for boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, and paddleboarding, plus an 18-hole golf course, full equestrian center with horse trails, a marina, campground, multiple community pools, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, a dog park, playgrounds, picnic areas, and lakefront parks and beaches. The community clubhouse offers dining and a year-round calendar of events, and golf-cart-friendly streets add to the resort-town charm. Onsite property management and 24-hour gated security complete the package.  Zoned for Lake Elsinore Unified School District, with easy access to the 15 and 215 freeways. A rare opportunity to own in one of Southern California's most unique private lake communities.
