Crowning a beautiful coastal promontory in San Clemente’s gated Sea Ridge Estates enclave, this extraordinary custom estate captures unobstructed 360o ocean, coast, Catalina Island, sunset, canyon and mountain views. At dusk, lights in the city below being to sparkle, being outshined only by the stars above. Magnificent vistas are complemented by enviable privacy that an end-of-cul-de-sac location with only one direct neighbor affords. First impressions are memorable thanks to contemporary exterior architecture accented by artful columns, an inviting front patio with fountain, and a custom glass entry door. Entertain impressively in a wraparound backyard with breathtaking views, semi-circular vanishing-edge spa, a dining patio with built-in BBQ island, built-in seating surrounding an open-air fireplace, and heaters recessed above the patio. Approximately 5,040 square feet, the generously proportioned interior is an opulent showplace that boasts a two-story foyer with dramatic circular staircase and an elevator leading to all levels. The open- concept main floor caters to formal and casual gatherings with ocean-view dining and family rooms. They share a stunning wood-clad partition that features a fireplace on both sides and a custom built-in aquarium. Both rooms open via slide-away walls of glass to the backyard, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor living environment. A 300-bottle wine cellar awaits beneath the staircase, and a walk-in wet bar provides a great setting for socializing. Express your culinary style in a chef-worthy kitchen with granite countertops, a matching backsplash to the ceiling, custom wood cabinetry with glass uppers, cove lighting, top-tier stainless appliances, and a nook with access to the dining patio. Polished stone floors, coffered and tray ceilings, designer lighting fixtures, and custom wall treatments lend an air of sophistication to the residence, which reveals five ensuite bedrooms and six baths. One suite is located on the main level, and secondary suites offer mountain views from their second-floor setting. Extravagant in size and style, the primary suite embraces vast ocean views that enrich a sitting area with curvilinear floor-to-ceiling window, a private office, exercise room, and a luxurious bath with imported stone finishes. The top level is all about fun, displaying a game room, view deck, wet bar and bath. San Clemente’s historic pier, village and beaches are just down the hill, and excellent schools are close by. |
