Grand living reaches impressive new heights at this exquisite custom villa beyond the guarded entry gates of Cotton Point Estates, the most desirable and prestigious oceanfront community in San Clemente. Crafted in 2003, the luxurious home boasts premium construction, enviable sound-proofing, and only the finest finishes and fixtures, including arched windows and French doors, Enkeboll Honduran mahogany millwork, and crystal chandeliers. First impressions are memorable in a stunning foyer with a circular staircase that is graced with custom leaf-motif railings. Approximately 7,181 square feet, the five-bedroom, four- and one- half-bath design hosts a formal living room with a double-height ceiling and an elegant fireplace, a spacious formal dining room, a family room on each level, a secondary staircase, and a second-floor bonus room that is ideal as a music room, an office or studio. A large island with prep sink anchors the chef-inspired kitchen, which presents custom cabinetry with glass uppers, and top appliances including a built-in refrigerator. Most main-level rooms open to the outdoors, including two secondary bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, one being ADA compliant. Tumbled 24" marble tile imported from Spain adorns the first level's floor, with Honduran mahogany flooring displayed upstairs. A dumbwaiter, radiant floor heating, a mudroom, and a mix of high-end quartz and granite finishes is showcased in the thoughtfully arranged home. Upstairs, bedrooms open to a balcony that offers a peek at the ocean. Opulent in every way, the primary suite features a sunny patio, an oversized walk-in closet with custom built-ins, a steam shower and a jetted tub. Sprawling in size, grounds extend nearly 29,000 square feet and reveal lush landscaping, intimate patios, beautiful gardens, verdant lawns, a large swimming pool, a shaded loggia, a custom fountain, magnificent specimen trees, and 30' Ficus hedges for the ultimate in privacy. Space is available to add additional rooms to the estate, a separate casita, or a rooftop patio with unobstructed ocean views. A long, gated driveway with ample room for guest parking leads to a three-car garage with abundant storage space. Cotton Point Estates is an intimate, private enclave of just 15 residences, including La Casa Pacifica, also referred to as Richard Nixon's Western White House. Residents enjoy beach access from their setting above Trestles, the Cottons surf breaks and Calafia State Beach.
