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 sf on a 15,600 sf lot, a long driveway, three-car garage, and 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 view balcony, a custom walk-in closet w/ built-ins, and spa-inspired bath w/ dual vanities, custom cabinetry, jetted tub, and oversized walk-in shower—each positioned to enjoy the coastline and glowing evening skies. Additional highlights include two HVAC systems (upstairs/downstairs) with Nest thermostat upstairs. Just minutes from coastal dining, parks, beaches, Dana Point Harbor, and the historic charm of downtown San Juan Capistrano—this is a sophisticated vantage point for enjoying Southern California’s best. Downstairs office could be 4th BR!
