It's always better to live life at the top, and 24 Calle Tamara at Talega's exclusive Alta neighborhood in the coastal hills of San Clemente is one of the enclave's newest and most-desired residences. A generous floorplan of approximately 4,862 square feet reveals four ensuite bedrooms and four-and-one-half-baths including a magnificent main-level primary suite with a walk-in closet, separate vanities, a soaking tub and an oversized rain shower with two entrances. The home's main foyer is equally impressive. A double-height ceiling soars over the entry, lending drama to an already stunning floating staircase. The elegant formal dining room views the courtyard, and a generous great room with vaulted ceiling unites seamlessly with a chef's kitchen that displays an island, breakfast room, butler's pantry and top appliances. Another bedroom is located on the first floor, and the second level offers a spacious bonus room with a secondary kitchen and bar. Living the good life continues outdoors on a view-enriched homesite of nearly 10,718 square feet. Enjoy professionally designed and maintained landscaping, a gated entrance courtyard, and a resort-style backyard with a pool, spa, a fireplace-warmed California Room off the great room, an entertainment pavilion, and sweeping hill, valley and evening-light views. Nestled at the top of one of Talega's highest points, Alta places residents within easy reach of the community's championship golf course, swim club, top-rated schools, Tierra Grande Park, miles of hiking trails, and San Clemente's famous pier and golden beaches.
