Located on a prime lot in the upper hills of gated Capistrano Estates, this expansive residence seamlessly combines luxury, functionality, and timeless design. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, PLUS a den/office, AND a flexible bonus room – along with a rare 4-car garage – this estate leaves nothing to be desired. A dramatic foyer with a sweeping staircase welcomes you into light-filled formal living and dining rooms adorned with crown molding, a cozy fireplace, and an ornate chandelier. The remodeled gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops with a full slab backsplash, a walk-in pantry, a massive entertainer’s island, and recessed lighting. It opens seamlessly to a spacious family room equipped with custom built-ins, dedicated wine storage, and a second fireplace. The main level also conveniently hosts a full guest suite, a versatile den that can serve as a 6th bedroom, a primary laundry room, and a secondary rear staircase. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite acts as a private sanctuary, complete with a dedicated sitting retreat, high ceilings, a third fireplace, a multi-blade ceiling fan, and a spa-inspired bath offering a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, a walk-in closet, and an additional laundry setup. Three secondary bedrooms, two full baths, and a large bonus activity room – easily convertible to a 6th or 7th bedroom – complete the upper level. Outside, the resort-style backyard is designed for high-end entertaining and everyday relaxation, featuring mature landscaping, a PebbleTec pool with a cascading waterfall, an integrated spa, a built-in BBQ island, a private putting green, a covered patio, and a separate shade pergola for lounging. Additional highlights include a fully paid-off solar system, dual-pane vinyl windows and sliders, luxury panel flooring, and custom window coverings throughout. Ideally situated near equestrian and hiking trails, elite private schools such as St. Margaret’s and JSerra, historic downtown San Juan Capistrano, the Mission, shopping, dining, and local beaches, this exceptional home offers the ultimate Southern California lifestyle.
