Sequestered beyond the prestigious entry gates of Reserve East at Forster Ranch in San Clemente, this generously proportioned luxury home offers ocean views and poolside living. Measuring nearly 6,910 square feet, an elevated homesite with no one directly behind welcomes beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island and evening lights from the backyard and interior spaces. A double-height ceiling and graceful staircase with high-end patterned carpet enrich a foyer that introduces the first level, which includes a formal dining room that hosts a dry bar, French doors to a side yard, and a see-through fireplace shared with the living room. Currently featured as a billiards room and upgraded with fold-away glass doors that access the backyard, the formal living room displays built-in shelving and is ideal for special occasions. For large gatherings, the family room and kitchen unite as one and boast a custom illuminated built-in entertainment center, a corner fireplace with raised hearth, and a casual dining area. Enjoy the gourmet kitchen’s large island, white cabinetry, custom quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, walk-in pantry, coffee bar, and stainless-steel GE appliances including a built-in refrigerator and six-burner Café cooktop. Handsome wood floors complement the first level, which is also home to a split three-car garage and an ensuite bedroom. Approximately 3,465 square feet, the open floorplan features five bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths, including secondary bedrooms that are highlighted by window seats and/or ensuite baths, depending on the room. Overlooking the backyard from a spacious ocean-view deck, the primary suite features a versatile retreat, tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a travertine bath with two sinks, a sit-down vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. Paradise awaits in a backyard that boasts a pool and spa with fire bowls, a palapa-shaded BBQ bar with granite countertop, turf-inlaid stone decking, and a large sitting area with open-air fireplace. An array of Forster Ranch's outstanding recreational attractions is nearby, including Forster Ranch Community Park, complete with a playground, sports fields, trails, and a full calendar of community events. Shopping along San Clemente’s Avenida Del Mar, dining on the pier, and relaxing on its sandy beaches await just minutes from home.
