Description
Situated on a quiet single-loaded circular cul-de-sac with only seven homes within the Alora enclave of Talega, this impeccably maintained former model residence offers elevated living with sweeping valley, hill, and ocean views. Built in 2007 as one of the final homes by William Lyon, the property reflects a rare level of craftsmanship and scale, with soaring ceilings, rich hardwood cabinetry, natural stone finishes, and architectural detailing carried consistently throughout. Spanning approximately 4,265 square feet, the home features four ensuite bedrooms plus a dedicated office, including a main level guest suite. A formal foyer with a sweeping spiral staircase, custom ironwork, and statement lighting introduces a sense of arrival, unfolding into well-proportioned living and dining spaces and a separate family room, where fireplaces lend warmth and balance to both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is both functional and refined, anchored by a Jenn-Air six burner cooktop with griddle and framed by granite surfaces, a generous center island, a walk-in butler's pantry, and built-in stainless appliances, with a wine chiller integrated for effortless entertaining. Custom leaded glass windows and upgraded Andersen dual crank-out windows invite in the ocean breeze, while tray and coffered ceilings add dimension throughout. Upstairs, the primary suite is set apart with a separate fireside retreat, a private bedroom, and a balcony with panoramic views of the surrounding hills, valley, and ocean. Dual walk-in closets with custom built-ins and a spa-like bath with jetted tub, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower with dual shower heads complete the suite. Additional features include built-in speakers throughout, surround sound in the family room, window tinting, Culligan water softener, garage cabinetry, and a security system with cameras. The backyard offers mature landscaping, olive trees, Saltillo tile, a raised spa, outdoor fireplace, built-in barbecue, and an extensive rose garden, creating a private setting for both relaxation and entertaining. Set within one of Talega's most desirable enclaves, the home offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and enduring design seldom found at this level. Access to pools, sport courts, trails, parks, and top-rated schools completes a lifestyle defined by understated luxury and coastal proximity.
