The open concept floor plan seamlessly connects the living room, billiard room, formal dining area, and expansive great room, creating an inviting space for gatherings. Upstairs, you'll find five comfortable bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a stylish ambiance that captures natural light and views of Covenant Hills and San Juan Capistrano.

No aspect of this home has been overlooked, with careful consideration given to every detail. The Control-4 Smart Home controller allows you to easily manage music and ambiance both indoors and on the wrap-around front porch. The house features beautiful hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and designer lighting, while wood detailing and paneling add a touch of sophistication throughout. The kitchen has been completely redone, featuring new cabinetry, a spacious island, a farm sink, and high-end Thermador appliances, including a full height wine fridge.

The true highlight of this property is the newly created entertainer's yard.
