Featuring everything you have been searching for in a luxurious townhome, this extra-spacious and repiped Carmel residence at Talega in San Clemente presents a coveted end location, a private backyard and generous room to relax and entertain in style. With only one shared wall, the three-bedroom, three-bath design features windows on three sides that welcome gorgeous daylight. High ceilings enhance the open feel, and generously proportioned living areas include a formal dining room and a fireplace-warmed family room with easy access to the backyard. Dine casually in a sunny breakfast nook that adjoins a gourmet kitchen with breakfast/appetizer bar, a walk-in pantry with glass door, white cabinetry, granite countertops with full backsplash, a double oven, and a five-burner cooktop with an upgraded stainless-steel hood. The main level is also home to a bedroom that is currently acting as an office, an attached two-car garage with built-in storage, and an elegant powder room with pedestal sink and designer wallpaper. A loft with two art niches lends appreciated flexibility to the second floor, which is home to a laundry room with sink and cabinets, a secondary ensuite with covered balcony, and a primary suite with sitting area, a walk-in closet, two sinks, a soaking tub and a separate shower. The residence spans approximately 2,560 square feet and is artfully detailed with custom crown molding, plantation shutters, plush carpet and tile flooring. Timeless Spanish tile adorns the backyard patio, which offers hill and neighborhood views, a three-tiered fountain and a built-in BBQ. Carmel homeowners have access to a private resort pool, and Talega's championship golf course, scenic parks, swim center, shopping centers and restaurants are close by.
