Located at the southern end of San Juan Capistrano in the coastal-close gated community of Pacifica San Juan, 26571 Via La Jolla is an elegant 5 bedroom (4 bedroom + casita) + 5 bathroom home smartly designed with a main floor Master Bedroom and Guest Casita. The Belle Cliff residence is true to its Monterey architectural-styling, with classic Catalina tile accents, clay tile roof with charming rafter tails, covered balcony & central courtyard with wrought iron entry gate – all hallmarks of the Monterey style. French doors and an abundance of windows throughout bring light and the landscape into the interiors, making for a cheery home year-round. The downstairs is comprised of the Great Room, the spacious Kitchen and the Master Bedroom Suite. The downstairs Master Suite is a rare commodity in any market and provides peace of mind about ageing in place. The Master Bathroom has dual vanities, a soaking tub, a step-in shower and large walk-in closet. Upstairs, a small loft area makes for a fine place as a homework station, an extra office, or just as a cozy nook where you can catch up on a favorite series. The three adjoining bedrooms have private en suite bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms share a private balcony that has a peek-a-boo ocean view and overlooks the courtyard below. The home’s sunny central courtyard is just off the Kitchen, between the Main Residence and Casita, and makes for a sweet spot for informal dining or as an outdoor living room. The Casita is ideal as either a guest quarters or as a home office – an asset in today’s work-from-home lifestyle. The sprawling backyard is perfect for gatherings, BBQing, or just basking in the sun. A downstairs Laundry Room, Powder Bathroom and two-car Garage complete this lovely home. // The community has a luxe resort-style recreation center with pool, spa, covered cabanas, BBQ area + outdoor lounge and fitness center. Just outside the community is so much – world-class surf breaks & beaches; the vibrant downtowns of San Juan Cap, Dana Point & San Clemente; endless hiking & mountain biking opportunities; sailing and boating out of Dana Point Harbor and 10+ golf courses within a 10-minute drive… Truly, this is SoCal coastal living embodied. Don’t miss it!
