Sited on a massive (nearly 1/4 acre) flat lot in Forster Ranch, this is one of the best-kept-secret streets in the entire area. First time on the market since the 80s, this home has been lovingly cared for & enjoyed by its original owners since constructed. Positioned on an elevated point capturing expansive views of the surrounding rolling hills & Saddleback mountain in the distance, the setting here is beyond serene. Completely rebuilt in 2000 to create much larger-scale home with a second story addition, massive pull-through 3-car garage, & an amazing entertainer’s yard, this has been expanded to create a completely custom home. Located on a single-loaded stretch of a cul-de-sac with less than 10 homes and hardly-traveled, this is a very quiet side street. From the moment you arrive, curb appeal is on point, freshly painted with mature palms, tropical landscaping, a wide side-by-side garage & parking, & custom-home appeal. Designed with views in mind, the upper level features a vaulted great room with amazing views out every window. A massive entertainer’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances (Sub-zero, Viking, large wine fridge), & centered bar opens to the main living & dining rooms with several French doors that access a large viewing deck. Off the side, stairs lead to the outdoor areas below. A guest bedroom & newly-updated bathroom complete the upper level. Downstairs, a fire-warmed study with custom built-ins, ensuite bonus room (gym or office), two guest bedrooms (one is huge with direct Saddleback views), & a massive primary suite with gas fireplace. Dual sinks, private toilet, jetted tub, walk-in shower, & a generous walk-in closet complete the suite. French doors off the primary flow out to the entertainer’s dream yard. Featuring several fireside lounging areas (fire pit and fireplace), built-in BBQ bar, putting green, pool, spa, & fountain, this is an incredible backyard all with major privacy & expansive views. Other values: 800 SF pull-through garage with major storage, owned solar, newer A/C units, updated guest bathrooms, mature palms, newly painted, some new carpet - the home is so dialed-in. Central to all that SC, DP, & SJC have to offer: golf courses, new restaurants, great schools, trail systems, world-class surf, beach trails/bike paths in both directions, nearby Trader Joes & Sprouts shopping, SC Pier, & the forthcoming remodel underway at the DP Harbor. Truly an opportunity to be someone’s next forever home.
