About 53 Via Palacio
The first opportunity to purchase in Pacific Crest / Mandalay under $2,000,000 since 2024. Mandalay is an exclusive gated community close to the ocean and downtown San Clemente, and without the high taxes, Mello Roos and CFDs of neighboring communities. There is no “Lifestyle Transfer Tax” either !!! Our floorplan features 3 bedrooms, with a Master retreat, and executive office – that could be easily converted into 5 bedrooms. The executive office offers french doors that opens to the street, for that work-from-home professional that cares to impress clients. The office is a quick and easy conversion into a downstairs bedroom with private bathroom. The first floor is an open and flowing floorplan with a combined formal living and dining rooms. These rooms conveniently flow in a “great room” with a kitchen to opens to both the casual family room as well as the breakfast nook and bar seating areas. The kitchen has a central island with electricity and cabinets. All the appliances are stainless steel. A full laundry room is located on the first floor. The backyard is designed with outdoor living in mind. A built-in oven can be used for cooking anything from pizzas to a Thanksgiving turkey. Comfortable seating areas offer sunlight during the mornings while coolness and shade during the hot southern California summers. The master retreat is designed with an attached newborn baby suite. Close enough to keep an eye on your little one, yet expansive enough to sleep well during those first few years. The baby suite could also be designed as a “master retreat,” or is an easy conversion to a bedroom with the door framing already built into the home. The master bath offers dual walk-in closets, dual vanities, a jacuzzi tub, and a separate large shower. The two upstairs bedrooms are on either side of a full bathroom with dual vanities, shower and bath.
