Enjoy breathtaking west-facing views and sunsets from this beautifully updated San Juan Capistrano home, perfectly set in a tranquil, private setting designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. A sprawling wood deck invites you to relax, dine, and gather while taking in sweeping views and peaceful surroundings. Inside, the home lives large with an open-concept floor plan filled with natural light. The kitchen and living room are positioned to capture stunning views, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for hosting and enjoying Southern California living. The interior and exterior were professionally repainted just a few years ago, and at the same time the kitchen and bathrooms were fully remodeled with thoughtful, modern upgrades. The kitchen features new LED lighting with adjustable color temperatures, while the primary bathroom entry was enhanced with a custom barn door for both style and function. Additional improvements include dual-pane windows, a newer water heater, updated heating ducting, and the removal of the sliding glass door in the main bedroom for added security. The exterior has been equally enhanced with numerous quality improvements. The original asphalt driveway was removed and replaced with a newly poured concrete driveway, reconfigured to accommodate two vehicles after removing a tree. Secure, coded entryway gates with fingerprint access provide both privacy and peace of mind. New vinyl fencing has been installed between the property and neighboring homes, complemented by added privacy screening above the fencing. Turf has been installed in the side yard for low-maintenance outdoor enjoyment, and a professionally built 10' x 10' x 8' storage shed offers excellent space for bikes, boards, and extra belongings. The former wood stairs were removed and replaced with a clean, durable concrete walkway, further enhancing both curb appeal and functionality. A generous 10' x 20' covered side patio provides additional versatile space-perfect for outdoor dining, lounging, or creating a private retreat. This home is just a short bike ride to the beach and Dana Point Harbor, with quick freeway access for easy commuting. Enjoy being minutes from the heart of historic downtown San Juan Capistrano, including the Mission, theaters, acclaimed restaurants, entertainment, and shopping. This is a rare opportunity to own a sunset-view home that blends privacy, modern upgrades, and an exceptional coastal lifestyle.
