The primary suite is a true sanctuary, adorned with soaring tray ceilings, ornate molding, and sweeping hillside, neighborhood, and mountain views. A curved bay window and three-sided fireplace unite the sleeping quarters with an intimate sitting area. The spa-inspired bath offers a raised soaking tub, opposing vanities, a makeup station, twin glass-enclosed showers, warm stone finishes, and a custom-organized walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share an elegantly appointed bath. Enjoy 24-hour guard-gated living minutes from Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, pristine beaches, and Capistrano Unified schools, including Aliso Niguel High School (buyer to verify school boundaries and enrollment).
