25 Via Palacio

An elevated hillside homesite at Rancho San Clemente's gated Mandalay neighborhood gives this generously sized executive residence an outstanding vantage point from which to enjoy panoramic hill, valley and city-light views. Beautiful vistas provide a captivating backdrop for outdoor entertaining on grounds that span nearly 5,388 square feet and display a large turn-in driveway, manicured landscaping with topiary plantings, and a sunny backyard with a split-level patio and an ample lawn. A virtual blank canvas, the home's two-story interior embraces approximately 2,465 square feet over two levels. Highlights are led by a double-height foyer, a bright and open living and dining space, an office that opens to the living room and the front yard via French doors, a two-car garage, and a family room with fireplace, media niche and backyard access. Stylish kitchen upgrades showcase granite countertops, white cabinetry, updated stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, a breakfast bar, island, and a nook with large under-stairs storage closet. Four bedrooms and two-and-one-half baths include a luxurious primary suite that is distinguished by a view deck over the backyard, a dual-access walk-in closet, separate vanities, a jetted tub and spacious shower. Private and serene, Mandalay offers the rewards of a setting near a major shopping center, excellent schools, open space, trails, and the popular Vista Hermosa Sports Park.
