Welcoming expansive double fairway golf course views overlooking the signature 15th hole at the Marbella Country Club in San Juan Capistrano, this custom Santa Barbara style estate exudes elegance. Crowned by towering brick-finished domes set above the foyer and staircase, the luxurious residence is bathed in soft, natural light and designed to complement preferred indoor/outdoor entertaining and living. A generous motorcourt and gated entry patio set the scene, and a central courtyard anchors a first level that hosts formal living and dining rooms, a sitting room, an oversized family room with wet bar, an office and a guest suite. A see-through two-sided fireplace warms the living and sitting rooms, another fireplace graces the family room, the dining room opens to a spacious patio, while Saltillo and Cantera tiles, newer European oak flooring and wide archways are on display. An island with prep sink highlights a gourmet kitchen that is distinguished by a nook with backyard access, a pantry, granite countertops, handsome cabinetry, a hammered-copper farmhouse sink, and Thermador and Sub-Zero appliances including a 48" range, full-height wine cooler and built-in refrigerator. The open and flowing floorplan encompasses three large en suite bedrooms, three-and-one-half baths, secondary primary suite with a view and balcony, and grand primary suite with sweeping golf course views, intimate balcony, freestanding tub, fireplace, and walk-in closet.
