Recalling the simple elegance of Colonial Williamsburg and enhancing it with timeless luxury, this Connecticut Salt Box-inspired estate offers a private retreat in San Juan Capistrano. Serene grounds with hillside views extend over approximately 2.5 acres and embrace the main residence and a guest house with immaculate landscaping, winding pathways, a lighted bridge, covered porch, built-in BBQ, more than 200 rose bushes, tranquil fountains, flowering trees, a gazebo, and a saltwater pool and spa with phone app control. An array of gardens includes one that is a certified Monarch butterfly way station. A long driveway, extensive brick hardscaping and custom landscaping lighting lend added appeal to the park-like homesite. Framed by mature trees, the elegant residence is just as beautiful inside, with handcrafted architectural details and a long list of included appointments on display throughout approximately 5,261 square feet. The impeccably maintained and upgraded two-story design presents five bedrooms and five- and one-half baths, including four ensuite bedrooms and a one-bedroom guest house with separate entry.
