About 16 Cape Frio
Resting on an unusually large lot allows this 5 Bedroom 5.5 Bath Crystal Cove residence of over 4,400 sqft to accommodate two large and separate yards; one with an expansive grassy lawn, and the other with a private stone-clad pool, spa and BBQ island. The main level of the home offers a gourmet kitchen that opens onto a spacious great room, a formal dining room with tranquil courtyard views, and a ground-level master suite, complete with spa bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the pool. The upper levels include two guest suites on the 2nd floor and a 3rd floor loft with panoramic views that would be perfect as a home office, play room or art studio. The main-level guest casita is detached and private, while the upstairs guest casita enjoys coastal views from the over-sized balcony and could be expanded into a massive ocean view master suite, if desired. The guard-gated community of Crystal Cove has much to offer its residents and guests, including the 2.5 acre Canyon Club for swimming, tennis, basketball, work-outs, entertaining and meetings. There are also 4 parks, several green belts and numerous hiking trails. Conveniently located just outside of the community gates, the Crystal Cove Promenade includes many casual and upscale options for dining and shopping. Crystal Cove State Beach sits just across Pacific Coast Hwy and can be accessed on foot via a secure association gate.
