Bright, crisp and refreshingly open, this stylish townhome at Santalana in San Clemente's preferred ocean-close community of Talega is customized with nearly $75,000 in upgrades. Outdoors, a wall fountain and lush landscaping create an inviting welcome in the front, while the spacious rear patio, which backs to walking trails, features an auto-refill quadrafoil fountain with lights, mature tropical landscaping, and commercial-grade lighting. Bathed in natural light, the home's 2-story interior extends approximately 1,679 square feet and reveals 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a 1st-floor powder room with subway tile and sea glass border, and quartz counters in full baths. Upgraded lighting throughout enhances plantation shutters, custom linen curtains, custom entry tile, slate flooring, a granite fireplace, arched windows, built-in linen cabinetry, and high ceilings. Granite countertops with subway tile backsplash add sophistication to a kitchen that presents stainless steel KitchenAid appliances. Upgraded plumbing fixtures, ceiling fans, custom bathroom mirrors and more are all included extras. Nestled on a cul-de-sac street, the distinctive townhome is close to a private recreation center with pool and spa, as well as golf and shopping.
