YOU CAN WALK EVERYWHERE. If you have been waiting for a truly special home within walking distance of everything that makes downtown San Juan Capistrano so desirable, this is it. Just steps from Los Rios Street, River Street Marketplace, coffee shops, restaurants, the Mission, the Basilica, the train station, and the heart of historic downtown, this is a location that simply cannot be recreated. Homes in this part of San Juan Capistrano rarely come to market. Many are quietly passed from one generation to the next. Set on a prominent corner lot directly across from the San Juan Capistrano Library, the home enjoys a front-row seat to one of California’s most historic communities. From your own courtyard, you can hear the church bells ring—a simple but unforgettable reminder of just how special this setting is. The architecture reflects the craftsmanship and character of another era, with graceful arched walls, open-beam ceilings, original lath-and-plaster construction, hardwood floors, and a classic clay tile roof. A formal dining room, separate family room with walls of glass, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create a home equally suited for entertaining or quiet everyday living. Nearly every window offers another glimpse of San Juan Capistrano—the historic architecture, mature landscaping, neighborhood activity, and timeless surroundings that make this part of town so distinctive. Two separate courtyard environments extend the living outdoors. One is enclosed and intimate, allowing the interior living spaces to flow naturally outside. The second is surrounded by mature privacy hedges and stone walls, creating a peaceful retreat in the middle of town. Leave the car at home. Walk to morning coffee. Stroll to dinner. Visit the Mission. Wander Los Rios Street. Meet friends at River Street. Catch the train. Enjoy the festivals, traditions, and events that make San Juan Capistrano unlike anywhere else in Orange County. This is more than a home in downtown San Juan Capistrano. It is an opportunity to live within the history, culture, and everyday rhythm of the city itself. A truly irreplaceable property in one of California’s most storied locations.
