About this property
Charming and beautifully maintained, this detached residence in the desirable gated community of San Juan Hills Estates reflects pride of ownership throughout. A corner lot, private gated entry, and manicured landscaping create a welcoming setting with added privacy. Inside, abundant natural light, a neutral color palette, hard-surface flooring in the main living areas, and recessed lighting complement the inviting open-concept floor plan, providing a comfortable setting for everyday living and entertaining. The family room fireplace offers a warm focal point for gathering, while the dining room features a decorative wall-mounted wine display and two built-ins for additional storage and display. The beautifully appointed kitchen combines style and functionality with white Shaker-style cabinetry, GE Profile and Monogram appliances, a spacious center island with quartz countertops, and a walk-in pantry. Its open design keeps cooking and conversation connected to the surrounding living spaces. Upstairs, the loft features a mirrored wall, and the conveniently located laundry room adds everyday functionality. All bedrooms include ceiling fans, and the primary closet offers a custom organization system. Additional upgrades include decorative penny-round tile flooring in the bathroom and primary closet, along with a frameless shower enclosure in the upgraded primary bathroom. Designed for Southern California outdoor living, the private yard features a built-in barbecue, two custom fountains, and a fire pit, an inviting setting for dining outdoors, entertaining friends, or unwinding at the end of the day. Citrus trees, succulents, and pygmy palms enhance the thoughtfully maintained landscaping. With low HOA dues and no Mello-Roos, this home offers a convenient location near golf, hiking, and biking trails, with easy access to downtown San Juan Capistrano’s restaurants, shops, and historic charm, as well as Dana Point Harbor and local beaches.
