Property Description
Behind the gates of The Estates at Rancho Niguel, 14 San Rafael is a commanding corner-lot residence defined by architectural scale, refined detailing, and elevated coastal living. Encompassing approximately 3,403 sqft, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom estate blends grand proportions with livability in one of Laguna Niguels most established gated communities. A dramatic double-door entry opens to soaring two-story ceilings, formal living and dining rooms, and a sweeping wrought-iron staircase that sets the tone for the homes craftsmanship. Marble flooring, crown molding, custom millwork, and a built-in wet bar create an elegant and inviting atmosphere. The family room, anchored by a fireplace and wired for sound, flows seamlessly into the kitchen, forming the heart of the home. The kitchen reflects European influence and enduring quality, appointed with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, center island, walk-in pantry, and professional-grade appliances including a Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. A breakfast nook framed by French doors opens to the backyard, extending everyday living outdoors. A main-level bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the primary suite offers impressive volume, its own fireplace, and access to a private balcony capturing hillside views. The primary bath evokes a spa experience with marble dual vanity, a custom-tiled walk-in shower, a jetted tub, and dual walk-in closets. The backyard is composed for privacy and presence, wrapped in balustrade walls and enhanced by lands
