Description
Located in Talega's Stella Mare tract on an extra wide homesite within a cul-de-sac, this executive residence boasts 5 bedrooms, including a main floor suite and a spacious upstairs loft. The desirable floorplan offers a formal living room with a cozy fireplace, a formal dining room seamlessly connected to an enclosed courtyard with its own fireplace, and a serene side yard perfect for outdoor seating amidst mature landscaping. The heart of the home features an open-concept kitchen and family room with a breakfast nook. Recently refurbished, the kitchen showcases elegant Montreal quartz countertops, a herringbone backsplash, and rattan bell pendant lighting. It includes a sit-down center island, a KitchenAid appliance package with a 6-burner cooktop, built-in refrigerator, double oven, dishwasher, and microwave. A butler's pantry provides additional storage and a walk-in pantry. The spacious family room, with numerous picture windows, is complete with a stacked stone fireplace and built-in audio-video storage. Upstairs, an oversized loft serves as an ideal media center, surrounded by three guest bedrooms. Two bedrooms, currently used as offices, share a dual-sink Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the other guest bedroom enjoys an ensuite bathroom. The primary suite offers panoramic views of the surrounding hills and trees, a private balcony, and a recently updated bathroom with white shaker cabinetry, his and her vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. Also on this level is a laundry room with a utility sink. The exterior is enhanced with interlocking pavers, high-quality artificial turf, and mature plants, creating a soothing, tranquil environment. Additional features include a whole-house re-pipe, a 3-car garage with storage and epoxy-finished floors, and a leased water softener and reverse osmosis system. The home is walking distance to Tierra Grande Swim Center and the Red Barn Sports Park, and a short distance to Talega's championship golf course, the Talega trailhead, and the Talega Swim & Athletic Club, and just minutes from San Clemente's beaches and pier.
