Located within the gated Mandalay community of San Clemente, 10 Via Palacio is a rare single-level home that blends easy coastal living with open, comfortable design. A pergola-framed driveway and well-kept front landscaping set a welcoming tone, leading into a bright interior filled with natural light, high ceilings, and distinctive diamond-pattern stone flooring. At the center of the home, a spacious great room brings together the main living areas in a seamless open layout. A black granite fireplace anchors the space, complemented by built-in media cabinetry and a small desk nook that adds everyday functionality without taking away from the openness of the room. The layout flows naturally into the kitchen and out to the backyard, making it ideal for both daily living and casual entertaining. The kitchen features granite countertops, a large center island, built-in double ovens, oak cabinetry, and a sunny breakfast nook that looks out to the backyard. Just off the main living area, a formal dining room with mirrored walls offers a more defined space for gatherings, while a private office behind French doors provides a quiet spot for work or focus. The primary suite is set apart for privacy and includes direct access to the backyard along with a spacious bathroom featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and ample storage. Out back, the home opens to a peaceful hillside setting with a mix of flagstone patios and lawn space. A covered trellis dining area and built-in BBQ island with counter seating and a mini fridge create an inviting outdoor setup that's ready for entertaining or relaxing. Conveniently located near beaches, coastal trails, Rancho San Clemente Park, the Outlets, and the shops and restaurants of downtown San Clemente, the home also offers quick access to the 5 freeway and nearby coastal cities. This is a relaxed coastal home that makes everyday living feel simple, functional, and connected to the best of San Clemente.
