Located in coveted Niguel Shores, this custom-built Garden Home was painstakingly crafted by the current owner using only the finest materials. Arrive at the chiseled-edge Travertine driveway, which flows through a private entry gate into an expansive, sun-drenched courtyard. This outdoor sanctuary is perfectly designed for entertaining, featuring a cozy firepit and a large granite-and-stone BBQ island with a built-in refrigerator, all framed by mature landscaping and swaying Coco Palms. Step through the custom wood and iron front door with leaded glass to find an open-concept interior defined by soaring beamed ceilings and architectural details. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting warm walnut-glazed custom cabinetry with glass uppers, granite countertops, and a classic farmhouse sink that overlooks the front courtyard. High-end culinary tools include a 36-inch Wolf range, a separate Wolf steam oven, and a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen, a built-in refrigerated wine cabinet and bar serve as a sophisticated transition to a private, sunlit home office. The sense of volume continues into the great room, which serves as the heart of the home with its hand-carved custom media wall, integrated surround sound, and a stately stone fireplace. French doors open to a secondary rear courtyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The generous primary suite offers a spa-like retreat, featuring a beautiful granite and stone dual-sink vanity, recessed mirrors, a seamless glass walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a bright skylight. Living in the private, guard-gated community of Niguel Shores offers a true vacation lifestyle. Residents enjoy a short golf cart ride to the clubhouse for tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, or swimming laps in the community pool. Most notably, the home provides access to the famous Beach Bluff overlooking Strand Beach, complete with a private gate that leads directly to the sand.
