Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Belford Terrace, this beautifully refreshed residence lives like a modern single-level home with a spacious main-floor primary suite and expansive everyday living spaces all on the ground level. Set on a generous lot with mountain and equestrian valley views, the home offers an exceptional blend of privacy, comfort, and value with no HOA, no Mello Roos, and no private transfer tax. Fresh neutral interiors, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and three elegant marble fireplaces create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout. The spacious primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, dual vanities, and separate privacy rooms for the soaking tub, shower, and water closet. Designed for both entertaining and daily living, the home also offers formal living and dining spaces, an oversized family room with wet bar and extensive storage, and a bright white kitchen with updated black accents and sunny breakfast nook. Upstairs includes three spacious bedrooms, a large bonus room with panoramic hillside views, and flexible potential for a secondary bedroom suite or media retreat. Complete with a 3-car garage, oversized driveway, large surrounding yard, and access to top schools, trails, and equestrian amenities, this is a rare opportunity to own in one of San Juan Capistrano’s most sought-after communities where pride of ownership and estate-level values continue to rise.
