Sweeping views of lush fairways and rolling hills complement the upscale ambiance of this spacious single-level home at Talega’s Carmel neighborhood in San Clemente. Boasting one of the most spacious homesites in Carmel, the repiped and remodeled residence shares only one wall with its neighbor and is located next to a resort-style pool and spa. Approximately 2,066 square feet, the three-bedroom, two-bath design is delightfully bright and open, with main living areas flowing to a view-enriched backyard complete with custom stone patios, a custom fountain, and a built-in BBQ island. The living room displays a custom built-in entertainment center and a fireplace, and the dining room generously welcomes memorable gatherings. Kitchen upgrades include new quartz countertops, solid wood white Shaker cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances. Other features include a full subway-tile backsplash, breakfast nook with new open shelving, designer tile and a built-in wine refrigerator. Throughout the home you'll find new energy plus Anlin windows, LED lighting and Baldwin door hardware on all doors. Hardwood floors grace most areas, with designer tile and carpet in select living areas. Crown molding, custom paint, plantation shutters, a spacious central hall and an attached two-car garage are also included. A large window invites natural light and backyard views into the primary suite, where a walk-in closet, dual sinks, a tiled vanity, and an oversized multi-head shower ensure comfort. Located in the heart of Talega, Carmel makes it easy to enjoy the community’s 18-hole championship golf course, a swim center, beautiful parks and trails, and an array of shopping and dining destinations.
