Awash in natural light and replete with timeless charm, this meticulously upgraded San Clemente residence embodies coastal elegance in the heart of Talega’s San Rafael neighborhood. Set on a serene street bordered by two cul-de-sacs, the expansive two-story home overlooks lush open space, offering sweeping vistas of the championship Talega Golf Course, gentle rolling hills, and glittering evening lights. A spacious wraparound front porch creates a warm welcome, leading into an interior spanning approximately 3,734 sf with soaring double-height ceilings and a striking 3-tier staircase. This home’s layout balances sophistication with warmth, featuring formal living and dining areas ideal for refined gatherings. The family room, a cozy haven with a custom stacked-stone fireplace topped by a 350-year-old reclaimed wood mantle, flows into the fully remodeled chef’s kitchen. Outfitted with premier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, including a built-in refrigerator and 6-burner range, the kitchen boasts custom quartz counters, pristine white cabinetry, walk-in pantry, built-in desk, and a subway tile backsplash. La Cantina accordion doors blend indoor and outdoor spaces, inviting sunlight and creating seamless access to the backyard. With 5 bedrooms, plus den and 4.5 baths, the home includes a main-level guest room with direct backyard access and a fitness room. Upstairs, 3 secondary ensuite bedrooms—two of which share access to an oversized deck—offer comfort and style, while the grand primary suite provides a sanctuary with fairway views, dual walk-in closets, a sitting area, and a spa-inspired bath featuring Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, separate vanities, soaking tub, and a frameless glass-enclosed shower.
