PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Discover this enchanting residence exuding a Santa Barbara/Montecito vibe, where timeless elegance meets coastal charm. The home boasts Mediterranean-inspired architecture with stucco walls, red-tiled roofs, and lush landscaping that creates a serene, private oasis. Surrounded by the beauty of nature in San Juan Capistrano's desirable Stoneridge Estates community, this meticulously crafted custom residence welcomes guests with a picturesque front yard with a patio and a gated entry courtyard complemented by the soothing sounds of a fountain. Panoramic hill, neighborhood and city-light views enhance the warmth and charm of the home, which boasts five bedrooms and three- and one-half baths in approximately 3,568 square feet. Enjoy vaulted ceilings, numerous French doors, alder interior doors, a custom iron entry door, and blonde French oak hardwood flooring throughout most of the first level. Handsome fireplaces are finished with handmade and imported tiles, custom-designed baths sparkle with hand-selected finishes and fixtures, and the powder room reveals an antique vanity. Custom tile also graces risers on the staircases, and the cozy pub room with custom mural leads to the front courtyard. A genuine artistic masterpiece, the kitchen proudly showcases handmade Ken Mason tile flooring, handmade backsplash tiles, walnut countertops, Shaker cabinetry, and pro-level appliances including a six-burner range. Bedrooms are private and serene, including a second-level primary suite that features a covered lanai with handmade Ken Mason tile flooring, walk-in closet, reclaimed teak flooring, copper sinks, a separate shower, custom tile wainscoting, and a freestanding hammered stainless and copper soaking tub. Early 20th Century Chinese temple doors open to the primary suite, a teak 19th Century door from Indonesia leads to the primary toilet, and the primary bath and fireplace shine with handmade tile. Nearly 12,632 square feet, the homesite is impressively proportioned and exceptionally private, advantages that are hard to find in nearby Laguna Beach. Located on a single-loaded street, grounds blend seamlessly with indoor spaces and offer a refinished saltwater pool and spa with newer heater, a covered Lanai with mosaic covered counter and picturesque gardens. There is a large area that would accommodate an ADU. With its verdant backdrop of rolling hills and open skies, the backyard is a haven for relaxation. Side by side photos show virtual staging.
