Can you believe that 2021 is already coming to a close? It has been a whirlwind of a year for all of us in so many ways, and we sincerely hope that it was exceptional for you and your families, too. Behind each of us at Echelberger Group is a family...a family of loved ones, parents, children, best friends and four-leggers. We fondly consider all you our family as well, and we look forward to the New Year being full of fresh traditions, old favorites and countless rewards for each and every one of us. No matter how you celebrate the season, we offer fond wishes that the good spirits, warm thoughts and sincere gratitude you experience will continue throughout 2022. We are all so fortunate to call San Clemente home, and our community is truly special. We look out for one another, we help those who are in need, and we work together to make Talega a welcoming place for everyone. So thank you, 2021, for the love, laughter, memories and unforgettable experiences. Here’s to 2022 and the hope, promise and potential it brings. Today, tomorrow and well into the future, all of us at Echelberger Group will be here for you every day of the year.

5 bed | 4.5 bath | 3,536 sq ft | 6,377 sq ft lot

Refined San Clemente luxury awaits at this impressively appointed San Rafael residence in Talega. A gated and covered porch with stone fountain provides a tranquil entry to the home, where a double-height foyer with elegant staircase is joined by an office with double French doors, a formal dining room with wine refrigerator, a main-floor bedroom that opens to the backyard, and a wide-open family and kitchen area that is perfectly suited for fun-filled gatherings. Home theater-style surround sound and a fireplace with raised hearth enrich the family room, and the island kitchen boasts a walk-in pantry, nook, desk, granite countertops, and black stainless appliances including a built-in refrigerator. Custom built-in cabinetry is on display throughout the home, and archways, art niches, crown molding, wood shutters, leaded-glass windows, handsome tile, high-end carpet and custom window treatments add multiple layers of appealing design. The home is generous in size, with approximately 3,536 square feet offering ample space for five ensuite bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths, including two bedrooms that share a Hollywood bathroom, one with a covered balcony, and a primary suite with sitting area, walk-in closet, oval tub, separate tiled shower and a sit-down vanity. Located on a desirable cul-de-sac street, grounds span nearly 6,377 square feet and proudly exhibit stone patios and walkways, a putting green, and a resort-inspired pool and spa with rockscaping. Discover a nearby shopping center with supermarket, Talega’s 18-hole championship golf course, parks and an elementary school. The popular beaches and pier of San Clemente are a short distance away.
