Defined by its scale, setting, and architectural detail, this Costa Azul residence commands a prized oversized cul-de-sac lot within the guarded gates of Pacific Ridge, capturing sweeping canyon views. Beyond a grand entry colonnade with newly refinished stone flooring, the home opens to a sprawling backyard designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Resort-caliber amenities include a fireplace-warmed covered patio, two built-in barbecues, outdoor kitchenette, sport court, fire pit, putting green, pool, spa, and tranquil water features, while a detached subterranean media room with wet bar offers a private retreat ideal for entertaining or relaxation. Inside, thoughtful detailing is evident throughout, including beamed ceilings, crown molding, custom millwork, and fresh interior paint. Main level living is anchored by formal living and dining rooms, a game room or optional office, a spacious en suite bedroom, and a chef’s kitchen appointed with quartz countertops and subway tile backsplashes. Upstairs, a sweeping wrought-iron staircase leads to a built-in workstation, laundry room, primary suite, and three additional en suite bedrooms—one with private access. Serving as a true retreat, the primary suite showcases double-height ceilings, a sitting area, private balcony, expansive walk-in closet, dual vanities, soaking tub, and a walk-in shower with dual shower heads. Moments from championship golf, Crystal Cove beaches, upscale shopping and dining, and John Wayne Airport, the home offers a rare blend of privacy, convenience, and elevated living.
