Luxury and elegance are redefined at this abundantly upgraded ocean-view home in San Clemente's gated Reserve East neighborhood at Forster Ranch. Located on a preferred cul-de-sac street, the expansive two-story residence presents beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and coastal hills and canyons. Curb appeal is embellished with custom hardscaping and professionally maintained tropical landscaping, complete with lofty palm trees. The backyard complements entertaining with an open-air fireplace and a built-in barbecue bar with granite countertop. Sumptuous interior spaces include a double-height foyer with grand staircase, and a formal living and dining room area with large windows that welcome natural light. The seamless kitchen and family room is great for game night, movie night and sneaking a midnight snack, with the family room featuring a custom built-in entertainment center, surround sound and a fireplace. An island anchors the gourmet-inspired kitchen and is joined by granite countertops with a full backsplash, a nook, walk-in pantry and a built-in refrigerator. Approximately 3,313 square feet, the five-bedroom, three-bath floorplan includes a main-floor bedroom/office, crown molding, travertine flooring with tile inlays, custom window treatments, clerestory windows, tray ceilings in select rooms, a balcony off a secondary bedroom, and a three-car garage. Ocean views highlight the primary suite, which is refined with a large view deck, a retreat, walk-in closet, sit-down vanity, a soaking tub, and a separate shower with frameless glass enclosure. Grounds extend about 7,053 square feet, allowing ample room for a large front lawn and a driveway with parking for three. An array of Forster Ranch's outstanding recreational attractions are nearby, including the Ridgeline Trail and Forster Ranch Community Park. Excellent schools, shopping centers, the Vista Hermosa Sports Park, and San Clemente's sun-soaked beaches are moments from home.
