    What's special

    Welcome to 278 Avenida Loretta - a breathtaking Spanish architectural masterpiece tucked away in the heart of San Miguel Ranch. This exquisite two-story retreat offers 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, a versatile loft, and an optional gym (formerly a single car garage space), spanning 4,036 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Framed by custom iron gates and fencing, this retreat boasts unparalleled privacy and serves as one of the most private homes within the development. The heart of this remarkable residence is the chef’s kitchen - a culinary playground outfitted with stainless steel appliances, a custom designer backsplash with a built-in pot filler, and stunning granite countertops. A generous center island and ample cabinetry provide space for both casual breakfasts and gourmet creations. Whether hosting simple dinners or lively gatherings, this kitchen is truly a dream! Begin your evening by welcoming guests into what is currently the bar and music room before transitioning through the grandeur of a custom designed rotunda and receiving area. Host unforgettable dinners in the formal dining area, where your guests will indulge on wines from your temperature-controlled wine cellar, serving as the perfect place to display 300 bottles of your finest vintages. After dinner, retreat to the cozy family room to unwind by the fireplace. The high ceilings and sunlit interiors create a seamless flow of warmth and elegance. Step into your own private sanctuary, where the enclosed patio and custom-crafted gazebo create an unrivaled entertainer’s paradise. Designed with gatherings in mind, the outdoor space invites you to relax in expansive seating areas, bask in the warmth of the grand fireplace hearth, or channel your inner chef at the massive outdoor island equipped with a built-in Traeger grill, sink, and BBQ station. Tranquil fountains and outdoor fans add a serene touch, making this space perfect for both intimate evenings and lavish celebrations. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, the backyard reveals its pièce de résistance - a spectacular pool and spa, elegantly flanked by custom fire pits and cascading water fountains. Whether lounging poolside or soaking under the stars, you’ll feel as though you’ve been whisked away to an Italian countryside retreat, surrounded by flourishing lemon trees, grapefruit, herbs, and vibrant gardens. When it's time to unwind, escape to your master suite — a luxurious haven boasting a spa-inspired en-suite.

The suite is completed by a spacious walk-in closet, ensuring both comfort and convenience. All of this is set on a 10,751 sq ft lot, offering endless opportunities to create your perfect oasis. Dine al fresco, lounge by the pool, or simply enjoy the serenity of your estate like surroundings.
