More Insights

Built in 2003 (23 years old).
Condition: Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old, placing it just outside the 'built within 10-20 years' range for a 'Good' rating. However, the listing states it was 'recently refreshed,' and the images confirm a meticulously maintained home with high-end finishes. The kitchen features premium stainless steel appliances (Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator), rich wood cabinetry, and granite/stone countertops, all in excellent condition and a timeless style. Bathrooms are equally well-maintained with classic white cabinetry and dark stone countertops. Flooring (wood, tile, carpet) appears pristine throughout. While not a brand-new build or a full extensive renovation within the last 5 years, the property is clearly move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and all visible components show minimal wear and tear, aligning strongly with the 'Good' criteria for overall quality and condition.

About this home

Set within the heart of Crystal Cove, 56 Archipelago is a rare coastal jewel: an exceptional single-level residence, a distinction held by fewer than five percent of homes in the community, with extraordinary ocean, sunset, and Catalina views. Once a former model for the Oceana tract, this home retains a sense of architectural intention and refinement, now recently refreshed to feel both elevated and effortlessly livable. Spanning approximately 3,631 square feet on an expansive 10,180-square-foot lot, the home contains 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, an office, and a bonus room that could be used as a fourth bedroom. A stunning entry courtyard with tranquil fountain sets the tone; an intimate, sunlit arrival where ocean air drifts softly through brick and wood accents, offering a moment of calm before stepping inside. The single-level floor plan lives beautifully, allowing spaces to flow naturally from one to the next, ideal for both quiet daily living and relaxed entertaining. Large windows frame expansive ocean views, inviting natural light to dance across interiors finished in a thoughtful blend of wood, stone, and carpet flooring. The kitchen is warm and grounded, appointed with rich wood cabinetry, granite and stone countertops, and timeless materials that balance elegance with durability. Throughout the home, the finishes feel curated yet comfortable; refined without pretense. The home’s oversized lot enhances privacy and openness, while its central location offers rare walkability and access within Crystal Cove. Just moments away, the coastal trails and preserved beauty of Crystal Cove State Park meet the everyday conveniences and seaside charm of the Crystal Cove Shopping Center. Residents also enjoy the security of 24/7 guard-gated entry and exclusive access to the Crystal Cove Canyon Club; a private haven offering resort-style amenities, gathering spaces, and moments of leisure. Rare in form, generous in scale, and serene in setting, 56 Archipelago is a home defined by quiet luxury: where thoughtful design, coastal beauty, and an unmatched Crystal Cove lifestyle come together in perfect harmony.

Cons

Potential for Dated Systems/Finishes: Built in 2003, while 'recently refreshed,' the kitchen's 'timeless materials' and lack of explicit mention of modern smart home or energy-efficient upgrades might not meet expectations of buyers seeking brand-new, cutting-edge renovations.
Unspecified Cooling System: The description highlights 'ocean air' but does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which is a standard expectation for luxury homes in this climate and price point.
