Perched on the edge of a picturesque canyon in San Clemente's master-planned Talega community, this exceptional Portofino home offers a prime homesite with panoramic hillside and city-light views. Extending approximately 8,394 s.f., grounds adjoin a pocket park near the end of a cul-de-sac and present a long driveway with parking for four, and a wraparound backyard with gated entrance, a pool and spa with spillways, a fire pit, raised terrace, paver decking and a custom built-in BBQ island with arbor, separate burner and sink, and Tesla solar panels. California living continues inside, where large windows and high ceilings create an open setting that includes a living and dining area opening to the backyard, and a unique combined kitchen and family room with fireplace, built-in entertainment center and surround sound. The kitchen displays white cabinetry, an island, granite countertops with full backsplash, a sunny nook, built-in desk, pantry and stainless steel appliances. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, designer carpet, custom paint, crown molding, upgraded lighting and plantation shutters are proudly displayed. Approximately 3,042 s.f., the generously sized residence reveals five bedrooms and four baths, including two bedrooms on the main level, and a view-enriched master suite with walk-in closet, dual sinks, a separate shower, elegant soaking tub and tumbled-stone tile work. Talega is served by award-winning schools and presents a wide array of recreational attractions.
