Description

Perched to capture sweeping Ocean, Catalina Island, Dana Point Harbor, and Sunset Views, this contemporary estate in guard-gated Connemara By The Sea offers a rare blend of coastal scenery, privacy, quiet and refined design—set at the southern edge of San Juan Capistrano near Dana Point and San Clemente. Positioned on a single-loaded street with striking curb appeal, the residence spans 4,609 sf on a 15,600 sf lot, a long driveway, three-car garage, a high-tech whole-house reverse osmosis system, and dual water heaters and HVAC systems. Inside, the home is curated for upscale everyday living and effortless entertaining. Porcelain tile flooring, smooth-coated walls, marble surfaces, crystal chandeliers, and a custom media/TV built-in create a clean, modern aesthetic with warmth throughout. A statement onyx waterfall bar with glass cabinetry and a wine refrigerator sets the stage for gatherings, with a nearby wine cellar ready for your personalization—complete with an additional 3/4 bath. This southwest orientation frames dramatic sunsets from multiple rooms on both levels. The chef’s kitchen is both impressive and highly functional, anchored by a substantial marble waterfall island with abundant storage and paired with a generous eat-in dining area plus a coffee and tea bar. Appliances include a new LG SKS refrigerator-freezer, KitchenAid double ovens, a KitchenAid dishwasher, and a new KitchenAid gas cooktop with Fotile exhaust fan. Thoughtful upgrades include soft close cabinets, drawers and walk-in pantry. The floor plan balances scale with flexibility: a formal living room and spacious family room both with fireplaces, and a dedicated office (could be a formal dining room or a 4th BR). TWO generously sized MAIN-LEVEL EN-SUITE BEDROOMS provide exceptional versatility for guests or multi-generational living. These could also be transformed into a large main level master with dual bathrooms. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite and loft are true retreats—featuring two fireplaces, two view-facing sitting areas, ocean view balcony, custom walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, custom cabinetry, jetted tub, and oversized walk-in shower—each positioned to enjoy the glimmering coastline and glowing evening skies. Close to award winning schools, minutes from coastal dining, parks, beaches, Dana Point Harbor, and the historic charm of downtown San Juan Capistrano—this is a sophisticated vantage point for enjoying Southern California’s best.
