25 Via Cartama

From its advantageous location high on a hill at Talega in San Clemente, this former model home is accentuated by panoramic golf course views that shimmer with city lights after sunset. Behind the Catania neighborhood’s elegant entry gates, the 2-story home beautifully illustrates luxurious Southern California living with grand spaces indoors and out. A welcoming entry with double-height ceiling and majestic semi-circular staircase opens to a fireplace-warmed living and dining space that is ideal for formal entertaining. For casual gatherings, a seamless family room, nook and kitchen area presents a custom built-in entertainment center, large island, walk-in pantry, and stainless-steel KitchenAid appliances. Measuring approx. 3,800 s.f., the versatile design offers 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, including a first-floor ensuite, and a distinctive master suite with fairway-view deck, 2 walk-in closets, a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Home to an expanded study with built-in desk on the main level, the residence is appointed with crown molding, leaded-glass windows, plantation shutters, and upgraded wood, tile, and newly installed carpet flooring finishes. Semi-tropical landscaping embellishes a private homesite of about 7,774 s.f. that features glass fencing for unobstructed views, a sprawling lawn and side yard, a custom fireplace, loggia, and long driveway. A pocket park is just across the street, and Talega’s trails, swim club, parks and golf club are minutes away.
