Cortesa’s
open space design keeps the flow of natural light and conversation going
throughout the main living areas. Spectacular kitchens have both beauty and
functionality that includes rich toned cabinetry and sleek countertops plus the
latest in energy wise stainless steel appliances. Large islands encourage
guests and chef to interact, and offer a casual dining spot for everyday use.
That is in addition to dining areas and morning rooms, per floor plan. Plans
featuring dens make room for at-home offices, study or, as desired, an optional
bedroom.
Throughout
the collection, secondary bedrooms feature private baths for the convenience of
guests, or to serve as second master suites. The addition of an optional studio/loft
presents the possibility of creating a hobby studio, a fun game room, kid’s
bunkroom or TV lounge with an upstairs half-bath for convenience. The
flexibility of the four distinctive floor plans is just what the buyer ordered,
leaving room for personal expression and individual tastes to be explored.
With
emphasis on open living space and abundant natural light, Cortesa includes
seamless connections to outdoor retreats, available with optional outdoor
fireplaces. Situated so as to create relaxing outdoor entertainment space, the retreats
will also have the boundless dimension of panoramic countryside views. Esencia
is within a quick drive of San Juan Capistrano, so the character of the views
is defined by the coastal quality of the local terrain.
