Extraordinary 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home (with potential to become a 5 bedroom home) immaculately maintained with perfect attention to detail. Located in the highly sought after area of Monterey, on a private cul-de-sac street, just steps from Altea Park and the Multipurpose Swim Club. Just walking through the front door you will recognize how special this home is, bringing the outside in, with a view to the beautiful backyard and the numerous windows flooding sunlight throughout. You find a formal living room on the right, as you enter, and a few steps to the left a formal dining area with a door to the private courtyard, directly across, bringing in the sounds of a large water fountain. Next you will find the open concept kitchen and family room an entertainers dream. The gourmet kitchen includes granite counters and splash back, a six burner stove, dual oven, convection oven, microwave, built-in refrigerator, trash compactor, island counter seating as well as an eating area for a table and chairs, all connected to the family room with fireplace. There is a bedroom with a private bathroom on the first floor. Moving to the spectacular backyard sunsets and vista, you will enjoy the built-in barbecue island with a fridge and sink for convenience, the built in firepit and pergola for relaxing. On the second floor find the large bonus room that many have made into a bedroom and bath, in this model, two more bedrooms, another bath, laundry room and a fabulous Master Bedroom Ensuite with two oversized walk-in closets. The very spacious bathroom boasts two separate vanities, large soaking tub, separate shower, and a private toilet. Outside find the energy saving solar panels, lush landscaping and a secret office off the upstairs balcony with a sweeping view of the hills. This home showcases everything lovely in this area of Talega, and points beyond, with the close proximity to trails, beaches, sports, shopping, dining, and the resort living we all look for, here in San Clemente.
