About 870 Avenida Acapulco

Elevated high in the hills of Southeast San Clemente on one of the area’s most desirable streets, this well-appointed home is a true showcase of pride of ownership. Driving to the summit alone inspires a sense of luxury living. Positioned along a wide (hardly-traveled) street among several large-scale, extremely custom estates, this home and surroundings are sure to impress. Upon arrival, curb appeal has been re-invented with a fresh coat of paint, refreshed landscaping, new entry doors & glass railings-an undeniable stand out. Inside large, steel, double doors, a formal entry draws you into grand two-story spaces. A well-appointed living room invites you in with arched features, coffered ceiling, major natural light, gorgeous wood floors, & detailed fireplace. Views of rolling hills across the formal dining room resemble a plein air painting. Parquet wood flooring details the floor. A spacious family room with wet bar, fireplace, & large view deck create the perfect place to unwind. Just off the family & dining rooms, beautiful wood floors lead to a massive entertainer’s kitchen with room for everyone to congregate. Offering ample cabinetry, stone flooring & counters, large centered island, stainless appliances, walk-in pantry, informal dining, all with surreal views of the etched hills abound (preserved land), this kitchen is just right. Up the grand staircase, wide hallways lead to three primary-like suites. The true primary is huge with major views. Coffered ceilings, fireplace, wired sound, exterior view deck, dual closets, spa-like bathroom with soaking tub, privacy toilet, dual sinks, beautiful wood cabinetry, & variable shower heads all make it exceptional. Two additional (giant) suites complete the upper level, one with view deck off the front (new glass railings). On the lower level (potential guest quarters), a fourth suite, a fifth bedroom (currently an office), & a large bonus room outfitted as home theatre with seating, projector, screen, & AV equipment. Slider doors access the rear patio & slope beyond. Major development potential: large decking, putting green, terraces, citrus grove planters, etc. Other values: zoned HVAC, fire sprinklers, massive 3-car (dialed-in) garage, peek ocean views, no HOA, on over an acre, homes of this caliber are truly rare to come by. Accessible to nearby trail systems including ridgeline & 2.5 mile beach trail, new restaurants, SC Pier, bikable to nearby world-class surfing at trestles, & amazing beaches.
