Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the private Las Marias enclave, this gated community consists of only 23 homes & offers a Mediterranean feeling unlike any other in the desirable Coast District area. Although classified as a condo, these homes live like detached single family homes, offering stand-alone residences with private outdoor spaces & parking. Originally built in 1979 & designed with inspiration from the south of France, this home features spacious living on the main floor with a formal entry living room with fireplace, formal/informal dining, updated kitchen with stainless appliances & marble counters, updated guest bathroom & a massive family room with marble-cladded fireplace, high ceilings & views of golfers playing the Shorecliffs golf course just below. The main-level primary suite offers views to the golf course beyond, soaring high ceilings, wood floors, & Andersen French doors to a private deck, this is an amazing place to wake up. Offering a luxurious ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, walk-in closet, soaking tub, large-format tile floors & walk-in shower - an amazing primary! Downstairs, the laundry room, three bedrooms with lush views, oversized closets, & two turnkey bathrooms (one newly finished) all add to the spacious allure. Permitted storage was converted to multigenerational living with separate exterior access. Offering its own living areas: office, private patio, refrigerator, & a newly-finished bathroom with jetted tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower, French doors & privacy toilet - a separate casita if desired. Off the back, a generous patio finished in pavers offers a serene setting with mature trees on the ridge above the green fairway beyond. Featuring a new BBQ, an entertainer’s bar, & plenty of lounging area - a great outdoor space! Other values include a private 2-car garage with generous parking for two in the paver driveway, dual pane windows, new travertine flooring upstairs, a renewed tile roof, updated fireplaces, & finished lower suite. Encompassed by rolling hills & the serenity of the golf course abound, nearby greenbelts, central to all that SC & DP have to offer: restaurants, top-rated schools, trail systems, world-class surf, sandy beaches, beach trails/bike paths, nearby Trader Joes & Sprouts, SC Pier, & the $700MM Dana Point Harbor remodel underway. Rarely available in this type of location at the end of a hardly-traveled cul-de-sac within a gated community, this home is sure to impress!
