About 2911 Carta Taza
Tucked away in the quiet hills of beachy San Clemente, this turnkey home offers a lifestyle unmatched. Located near the end of a cul-de-sac inside the prestigious El Encanto enclave of the greater Forster Ranch community, homes in this desirable neighborhood rarely come to market. Upon arrival, it's apparent the home showcases a high level of pride of ownership & strong curb appeal. Inside, two-story ceilings draw you into the open formal living & dining, all finished in new luxury vinyl plank flooring. French doors lead to the amazing backyard & pool beyond. A downstairs suite (currently office) shares a full bath with the lower level. In the main living, picture windows illuminate one open airy space with high ceilings across the kitchen & family room. The fire-warmed family room flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen with a centered island, upgraded stainless appliances, true walk-in pantry & views out to the resort-like yard. The massive entertainer’s yard features a PebbleTec saltwater pool & spa with waterfall, multiple lounging patios, gas fireplace, BBQ island with bar seating & refrigeration, low-maintenance turf, lush landscaping & mature palms, side storage & ample yard area for gardening-all with exceptional privacy. The sunny yard offers a sense of serenity & space, surrounded by mature trees-very open & inviting. A dedicated laundry & spacious 3-car garage complete the lower level. Illuminated by a large skylight, a centered staircase leads to four bedrooms on the second floor. Three generous guest bedrooms share a full bathroom with dual sinks. The primary suite lives on its own wing at the rear with views of the yard beyond. In the primary, a fireplace warms a generous space with vaulted ceilings, a retreat, & a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a huge walk-in closet. Other values include: paid solar (26 panels), newer vinyl floors, new water heater, RO system, newer appliances, newer water softener, refinished kitchen cabinets, custom built-ins, and mature, manicured landscaping, among several other upgrades since taking ownership in 2005. Encompassed by rolling hills, greenbelts, parks, nearby community tennis courts & no Mello-Roos. Central to all that SC,DP, & SJC have to offer: golf courses, restaurants, top-rated schools, trail systems, world-class surf, sandy beaches, beach trails/bike paths, nearby Trader Joes & Sprouts, SC Pier, & the $700MM Dana Point Harbor remodel underway. Truly an opportunity to be someone’s next forever home.
