Don't miss this rare opportunity to enjoy a coveted single-story California Ranch home close to the beach in San Juan Capistrano. A large homesite includes a colorful and welcoming front yard with drought-tolerant landscaping, and a large backyard with lawn and room for a future pool. A covered brick porch sets the scene for carefree living in a three-bedroom, two-bath floorplan of nearly 1,448 square feet that includes a custom sun room with backyard views, a ceiling fan and pull-down blinds. The open design is distinguished by a leaded-glass entry door and side lites, a brick fireplace and hearth in the living room, crown molding, multi-paned windows that invite natural light, and a den with French doors to the sun room. Custom recessed lighting in a tray ceiling illuminates the home's cozy kitchen, where white-on-white appliances, a custom garden window and a pantry make mealtime prep a snap. Located across the street from Marco Forster Middle School, the charming residence is within walking distance of Del Obispo Elementary School, Bonita Park, a sports park, equestrian trails, and a bike trail that leads to the beach. Dana Point's harbor and tide pools are nearby, and miles and miles of sandy beaches welcome fun in the sun.
