Set behind the guard-gates of prestigious Pelican Crest, this custom estate blends neoclassical presence with modern livability--~6,727 SF on an approx. 15,547 SF lot, built 2002, with a seamless indoor/outdoor flow designed for entertaining and everyday ease. A dramatic foyer with a statement staircase and soaring two-story ceilings introduces grand yet welcoming formal spaces: living room with stone fireplace, formal dining framed by French windows, an oversized office/den (potentially 5th bedroom), and a versatile lounge or second office. The social heart of the home combines a warm family room with wet bar, and detailed coffered ceilings open to the chef's kitchen and breakfast area, all overlooking resort-style grounds. Private quarters include 4 bedrooms / 4.5 baths: two main-level bedrooms overlooking manicured gardens; upstairs, a junior suite with balcony and a grand primary with sitting room, double-sided fireplace, terrace, boutique-scale bath, and oversized wardrobe. Outdoors live like a private resort: a spa cascading into the pool, expansive stone terraces for sun and dining, a covered loggia linked to the living room, and a built-in BBQ kitchen with bar seating--all set within layered landscaping for privacy. A finished 3-car garage completes the offering. Residents of Pelican Crest enjoy one of coastal Orange County's premier addresses--guard-gated exclusivity atop the ridge near Pelican Hill Resort & Golf, with effortless access to Crystal Cove beaches, Fashion Island shopping & dining, and major business corridors and airports.
