About This Home
As of April 2026Set on a quiet corner lot in Talega’s desirable Sabella neighborhood, 20 Via Cristobal pairs timeless Mediterranean architecture with a light, modern interior and a backyard designed for privacy and calm. Mature trees and layered landscaping create a serene outdoor retreat—lush, shaded, and beautifully secluded—while nearby trails and foothill paths invite daily connection to nature. Inside, the home unfolds across 2,579 square feet with a floor plan that feels both generous and intuitive. The recently updated main level features wood-look tile flooring, a refreshed kitchen with quartz countertops, crisp shaker cabinetry, and an open flow to the family room—ideal for everyday living and easy entertaining. Natural light fills the space, softening clean lines and highlighting thoughtful details throughout. Upstairs, hardwood flooring adds warmth to all four bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and generous closet. A built-in desk and loft-style workspace offers flexibility for work, study, or creative pursuits—an easy extension of modern life at home. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a 6,375-square-foot lot, the home balances comfort and functionality. A two-car garage includes an EV charger, adding convenience and future-forward appeal. Life in Talega brings access to resort-style amenities including pools, pickleball and tennis courts, clubhouse facilities, parks, and miles of hiking and biking trails—along with top-rated schools and a strong sense of community. Here, design, livability, and lifestyle come together in one of San Clemente’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
