From its elevated location in the preferred residential enclave of Alora at Talega in San Clemente, this luxurious home welcomes some of the community’s finest views. The Pacific Ocean, city lights and valley views enchant from the backyard, indoor living spaces, and a large deck off the second-level primary suite. Located on a cul-de-sac, the generous design of approximately 3,989 square feet is distinguished by four ensuite bedrooms including a main-floor suite, four-and-one-half baths, a loft with covered balcony, and a first-floor home office. Entertaining is easy thanks to a well-crafted arrangement that allows the formal dining room to flow effortlessly to a fireplace-warmed family room, a breakfast nook, and the kitchen. Both the kitchen and nook open to a loggia via sliding-glass doors, while the kitchen boasts a large island, granite countertops, two dishwashers, a custom tile backsplash, white cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, butler’s pantry, stainless steel apron sink, and high-end stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, including a built-in refrigerator and six-burner cooktop plus griddle. The expansive residence also offers a three-car garage, solar power, designer paint, tall ceilings, built-ins, arched passageways, and an appealing combination of wood, tile and carpet flooring. Private and opulent, the primary suite enhances personal luxury with a retreat, two-way fireplace, two walk-in closets, separate vanities, a separate shower and a soothing soaking tub. Master retreat can also be converted to a 5th bedroom. Oriented to maximize enjoyment of the views, grounds measure about 6,580 square feet.
