About this property
Tucked away at the end of a single-loaded cul-de-sac in one of Coto de Caza's most desirable JM Peters neighborhoods, this exceptional residence offers a rare combination of privacy, views, and resort-inspired living. Framed by mature landscaping and sweeping mountain vistas, the home welcomes you with timeless architecture, dual balconies, and an undeniable sense of arrival. Step inside and discover a residence rich in character and craftsmanship. Custom moldings, refined millwork, and a dramatic grand staircase create an elegant first impression, while thoughtfully designed living spaces balance everyday comfort with effortless entertaining. A highly sought-after main-floor bedroom with en suite bath provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office. Generous gathering spaces flow seamlessly throughout the home, culminating in an expansive bonus room that serves as the perfect media room, game room, teen retreat, or optional fifth bedroom. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary. Generously scaled and beautifully appointed, it features a private retreat, balcony with peaceful mountain views, a spa-inspired bath, and an oversized walk-in closet designed to accommodate even the most extensive wardrobe. Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned to provide both comfort and privacy. Equally impressive is the outdoor experience. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the backyard feels like a private resort, anchored by a sparkling saltwater pool and surrounded by lush landscaping that creates both beauty and privacy. Whether hosting summer gatherings, celebrating special occasions, or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the custom pergola with built-in heaters extends outdoor living long after sunset. Multiple entertaining spaces invite conversation, dining, and relaxation beneath the Southern California sky. Additional highlights include owned solar, a three-car garage, dual front and rear balconies, and an exceptional location within guard-gated Coto de Caza, just moments from the Golf & Racquet Club, scenic trails, parks, dining, and recreation. Combining timeless architecture, thoughtful design, and resort-inspired amenities, this is a home where every season feels like a getaway and every day feels a little more extraordinary.
