Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Set against the hillside backdrop of Belford Estates, this San Juan Capistrano residence carries a quiet sense of permanence, shaped by scale, warmth, and the relaxed character of Southern California living. The home unfolds with a refined architectural presence throughout, where soaring ceilings, natural light, and thoughtful material choices create a setting that feels both elevated and deeply livable. A dramatic floor to ceiling Vanilla Brushed Marble fireplace anchors the main living space, bringing a sculptural focal point to the home while setting the tone for the interiors that follow. From there, the layout moves naturally between the formal living areas, kitchen, and outdoor grounds, creating a seamless rhythm for everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the custom kitchen brings together rich cabinetry, stone surfaces, a Dacor stove, and KitchenAid appliances, offering a polished gathering space designed with both function and refinement in mind. The floor plan includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a large downstairs bedroom that provides flexibility for guests, extended family, or a private office setting. Upstairs, the primary suite is generously scaled and quietly composed, offering a true retreat within the home. Its en suite bathroom continues the sense of refinement with a clean, polished feel, creating a private space that is both comfortable and considered. Beyond the interiors, the home opens to a massive backyard that feels private, established, and beautifully usable. Mature landscaping surrounds the grounds, adding depth, shade, and a quiet sense of enclosure throughout the outdoor space. Expansive lawn areas create room for gathering, play, and entertaining, while layered greenery gives the yard a calm, resort inspired quality. Set within one of San Juan Capistrano’s most peaceful hillside enclaves, this Belford Estates residence offers more than a refined interior or a large yard. It delivers a complete sense of home, composed, private, and deeply connected to the relaxed beauty of its surroundings.
