28231 Paseo Corrales

There may be no one singular expression of Southern Californian living, but this is surely one of the archetypes – a Spanish-inspired home with its red tile roof, rustic shutters, a chiseled entry door with wrought iron accents all set back comfortably off a sleepy street framed by sycamore and olive trees shading fragrant drought-tolerant plants that bloom throughout the year, all set in historic San Juan Cap’s rolling coastal-close hillsides. The backyard delivers even more on that SoCal outdoor living promise – tall hedges of palm, bird of paradise & marina strawberry create a private, resort-like space with vignettes that seems too good to be true - a sparkling blue tile & PebbleTec pool and spa with hillside views; a long table set for friends & family under the open wood patio bedecked with pink trumpet vines & café lights; a comfortable sitting area next to the charming cast-stone fountain makes the perfect place to catch up with your bestie over coffee or vino. Inside the home is an abundance of windows & French doors that open onto views of the surrounding hillsides and bathe the interiors in natural light. Chiseled beams, custom knotty alder cabinetry & doors, hardwood flooring, stone fireplaces, security & AV systems, a soft water system, and solar are just some of the upgrades. An open, gracious floorplan downstairs with a large living, dining and family rooms that all connect to the kitchen – the heart of the home – that overlooks the lush back yard. A downstairs bedroom is nearby, next to the hall bath – Upstairs is the sumptuous master suite with a pitched roof, wrap-around balcony, a luxe master bath with custom cabinetry, 2 walk-in closets w custom built-ins, a freestanding copper tub, walk-in shower, and stylish Spanish tiles that all add to the home’s charm. Another 2 bedrooms upstairs share the hallway bath. The 3-car garage is outfitted with custom storage cabinets, making for a clean dream spot to park your sleds, build out a workshop or that in-home gym you’ve always wanted. Parking for another 3 on the driveway. Owned 24-panel solar electric system. No HOA in the Los Corrales neighborhood, and - coupled with the solar savings & low property taxes - that all adds up favorably to your bottom line. Just minutes to great beaches, hiking, biking & equestrian trails, shopping & dining in San Juan’s Historic Downtown and so much more. In a sea of so much ordinary, don’t miss out on this exceptional home!
