Perched to capture sweeping Ocean, Catalina Island, Dana Point Harbor, and Sunset Views, this contemporary estate in guard-gated Connemara By The Sea offers a rare blend of coastal scenery, privacy, quiet and refined design—set at the southern edge of San Juan Capistrano near Dana Point and San Clemente. Positioned on a single-loaded street with striking curb appeal, the residence spans 4, 609 sq ft on a 15, 600 sq ft lot, with a long driveway, three-car garage, and a versatile basement level ideal for storage, hobbies, or projects—complete with an additional bathroom. Inside, the home is curated for elevated everyday living and effortless entertaining. Porcelain tile flooring, smooth-coated walls, marble surfaces, crystal chandeliers, and a custom media/TV built-in create a clean, modern aesthetic with warmth throughout. A statement onyx waterfall bar with glass cabinetry and a wine refrigerator sets the stage for gatherings, while the southwest orientation frames dramatic sunsets from multiple rooms. The chef’s kitchen is both impressive and highly functional, anchored by a substantial marble waterfall island with abundant storage and paired with a generous eat-in dining area and coffee bar. Premium appliances include a new LG SKS refrigerator-freezer, KitchenAid double ovens, a KitchenAid dishwasher, and a new Kitchen Aid gas cooktop with Fotile exhaust fan. Thoughtful upgrades include double trash/recycling pull-outs and a high-tech whole-house reverse osmosis system and two water heaters. The floor plan balances scale with flexibility: a formal living room with fireplace, a spacious family room with fireplace, and a dedicated office (with the option to convert back to a formal dining room). Two generously sized MAIN-LEVEL en-suite bedrooms provide exceptional versatility for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true retreat—featuring a fireplace, two view-facing sitting areas, a large view balcony, a custom walk-in closet with built-ins, and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, custom cabinetry, jetted tub, and an oversized walk-in shower—each positioned to enjoy the coastline and glowing evening skies. Additional highlights include two HVAC systems (upstairs/downstairs) with a Nest thermostat upstairs. Just minutes from coastal dining, parks, beaches, the Dana Point Harbor, and the historic charm of downtown San Juan Capistrano—this is a sophisticated vantage point for enjoying Southern California’s best.
