Exceptionally upgraded and completely move-in ready, this luxurious San Clemente home in Talega's gated Catania neighborhood is generous in size and style. Nestled on a corner homesite opposite preserved open space, the two-story residence is characterized by a covered entry porch and mature landscaping. Interior spaces are professionally embellished with wood flooring, handsome millwork, custom paint in a pleasing palette, subtle archways, plantation shutters and custom lighting. Just off the foyer awaits a versatile office with gorgeous window, an elegant staircase, and a formal dining room with wainscoting and a shimmering LED chandelier. Surround sound and a stacked-stone fireplace enrich the family room, and the newly remodeled kitchen proudly displays white Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, an island, pantry, nook, spice drawers, butler's pantry, farmhouse sink, a built-in Viking refrigerator, Dacor cooktop and GE Monogram double ovens. Enviable style awaits in the first-level primary suite, which opens to the backyard and presents a walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and an upgraded bath with picture-frame mirror, jetted tub and separate shower. A loft with balcony and built-in cabinets is located upstairs and is joined by two bedrooms that share a bath and another ensuite bedroom with large picture window. Approximately 2,941 square feet, the four-bedroom, four-bath residence is powered by an owned solar system and boasts a new solar-powered louvered patio cover in the backyard that can open and close for sun or shade. Grounds span about 6,229 square feet and a two-car garage is featured. Tierra Grande Park is just around the corner, and Talega's excellent schools, shopping centers and golf courses are close by. A quick drive leads to San Clemente's picturesque beaches and classic pier.
