Located at one of the highest points in San Clemente, this impressive Misty Ridge home represents an outstanding value-oriented opportunity to enjoy life at the top. A desirable cul-de-sac setting reveals an enormous elevated homesite that spans approximately 28,000 square feet and embraces a peek at the ocean and panoramic canyon, hill, city-light and Saddleback Mountain views. Beautiful hardscaping and a large front lawn harmonize with traditionally styled architecture, and custom entry doors with leaded-glass windows and sidelites create a memorable first impression. Generous proportions continue indoors, where a sprawling two-level floorplan of approximately 3,839 square feet feels even larger with high ceilings and vast window expanses. A graceful circular staircase captures eye in a foyer with double-height ceiling that leads to an office with bay window and built-in desk, and a formal living room with elegant fireplace and French doors opening to a shaded rear patio. To the right of the entry awaits a formal dining room with ample room for grand-scale entertaining. Views embellish the casual family room, which is warmed by a brick fireplace with raised hearth and hosts a pub-style walk-in wet bar. Views continue in the kitchen, complete with a nook with bay window, an island, wood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, garden window and stainless-steel appliances. Five bedrooms and four- and one-half baths include a convenient main-floor bedroom with ensuite bath, two that share a bath upstairs, and a second-floor ensuite with walk-in closet. Double doors open to the stunning primary suite, which presents a large view-enhanced sitting area with fireplace, two walk-in closets, two sinks, a sit-down vanity, jetted tub, and a separate shower with skylight. Wood and tile flooring, plantation shutters, mirrored wardrobe doors, tray ceilings, crown molding, an interior laundry room with sink, a rooftop deck area and an attached three-car garage with built-in storage are featured. For the ultimate in SoCal living, simply step into the backyard, where a large pool and spa, expansive patio, built-in BBQ bar and magnificent views are on display. Extending nearly 26,959 square feet, the massive lot next door is also available for sale and can be purchased separately or in combination with this property. It offers equally impressive views and virtually endless possibilities. Beaches, San Clemente’s pier, top schools and recreation are minutes from home.
