An OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME to own a premium view lot in one of the most prestigious gated communities in south Orange County! 3 Sun Terrace boasts exquisite, sit-down, ocean views from the entire back of the home. The grand entrys vaulted ceiling acts to showcase the formal dining and living room, both floored with beautiful Brazilian mahogany. Gaze upon the Pacific Ocean as you prepare meals at the large kitchen island or relax in the adjoining family room and breakfast nook. The first floor also includes a full bathroom, large laundry room, and an office featuring thoughtful built-in desks and bookshelves. Upstairs, the spacious master suite has stunning ocean views, both from the bedroom and bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the opposite side of the hall along with a large bonus room which makes a perfect retreat (sauna) or playroom. The three-car garage has ample cabinet storage and a polished aggregate floor which not only looks good, but is extremely easy to maintain. This home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac and has a generous lot from front to back, with two sizable side yards. Meticulously landscaped with pavers and greenery, the backyard invites you to spend time outside surveying the ocean and Dana Point below, spying sail boats and Catalina Island beyond. Major upgrades include a whole-house repipe, new Milgard windows, Belgard pavers, new carpeting, new toilets, and an entire heating/AC overhaul with new dual-zone ducts. Bear Brand is one of the most desirable communities in south Orange County, close to highly-rated schools, great grocery stores and shopping. Within the gates is Longview Park with its majestic panoramic views and Salt Creek Trail which takes you straight to the beach. Spend the day at Salt Creek Beach (a 3 mile drive and just beneath the Ritz-Carlton) or the Links at Monarch Beach (next to the Waldorf-Astoria). Wake up to an ocean view every morning and enjoy a slice of paradise right at home.
