Representing the best price per square foot in San Clemente's exclusive guard-gated community of Cyprus Cove, this custom estate provides a canvas on which to imprint your own personal style. Imagine living on a cul-de-sac with private beach access and resort amenities nearly outside your front door without paying millions more. Grand in style and proportion, the residence is structurally impressive and awaiting cosmetic improvements. Enjoy a massive foyer with dual entry doors and a stunning circular staircase with custom wrought-iron railings. A double-height ceiling crowns the foyer and a formal dining room that leads to a private courtyard with open-air fireplace. The living room caters to formal entertaining by opening to a private loggia via two sets of elegant French doors. For everyday living and casual gatherings, the split-level kitchen and family area features a corner fireplace, nook with bay window, a peninsula bar, granite countertops, an island and walk-in pantry. An impressive appliance package includes a built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, dishwasher, trash compactor, and a 60" Wolf range with pot filler. Extra-wide solid wood plank flooring, custom millwork including crown and base molding, and romantic archways complement the estate's classic Spanish architecture. Four bedrooms and four- and one-half baths are showcased in approximately 3,705 square feet, including a main-level primary suite with fireplace, sitting area, a large walk-in closet with custom built-ins, a freestanding claw-foot tub, and an oversized shower. One bath opens to the outdoors for an easy after-beach shower, two secondary bedrooms share a bath, and another is ensuite. Balconies are located off two bedrooms and a versatile bonus room, which is nestled upstairs and is ideal as a media room. In-ceiling speakers make it easy to set the right ambiance for entertaining, and the attached garage accommodates three cars. Lush landscaping is mature and enhances a private homesite of about 7,500 square feet, and a rooftop deck welcomes an ocean view and a top-of-the-world vibe for sunny days and fun evenings with friends. Close to Trestles, one of California's premier surf breaks, Cyprus Cove is a close-knit community where residents enjoy socializing together at a clubhouse with pool, spa and tennis courts. Downtown San Clemente's pier, shops and restaurants are only minutes from home.
