This house has quite a setting! Would love to explore that creek! And I love the interior of the house! The home was built in 1926. It is located in San Juan Capistrano, California. The house features stone accents, vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, knotty pine, wood floors, stone fireplace and a lot of windows! It’s all about that amazing setting. I’m going to assume, but I could be wrong, that this is on leased land. The house is situated in Hot Spring Canyon and not far from downtown amenities. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,300 square feet. $349,900
