San Clemente Home Sale

Recently renovated throughout with no intention of ever selling, this home is dialed-in at a level rare to come by. Situated in the hills right above downtown, this exceptional location captures ocean views while offering expansive outdoor spaces. A crisp mid-century elevation enhanced by mature palms, ascending clerestory windows, floating top-cast concrete steps, & a beautiful clear-cedar entry door. The front elevation is garnished by new low-maintenance landscaping & old-growth palms. A clean & crisp Scandinavian-inspired interior with abundant natural light draws you inside. Inside, peek ocean horizon views add to the family room warmed by the newly limewash-plastered fireplace. Finished in Oak-like LVP flooring, the family room flows into the dining & kitchen creating one large, open living space. All brand new & hardly-used, the impressive kitchen is newly-finished with Taj Mahal stone counters, quiet cabinetry, brand-new stainless appliances, & polished nickel faucet. The bonus room (potential kids play room or 5th bed) is just off the powder & completes the lower level. Relaxing interiors flow seamlessly into a massive backyard. Al fresco dining & lounging adds to an expansive grassy yard, rare to come by & so desirable. A very aesthetic & newly-rebuilt staircase anchors the home leading to 4 generous bedrooms. 3 guest bedrooms (1 ensuite w/ direct Dana headlands view) access the most luxurious guest bathroom. An operable skylight tempers the second floor. The primary suite features walls of glass framing crisp ocean horizon, sunsets, & Catalina Island views. An all-new, spa-like bath features a curbless shower with dual heads, dual sinks, aesthetic finishes, & high-end polished-nickel fixtures. The walk-in closet offers clever clothing organizers. NEW Improvements: 7.447KW solar w/ 2.0 net metering & 25-yr warranty, 125A panel, cooling-shingle roof 2023 w/ Velux skylight, ducting, dual-zone A/C, fully re-piped & re-wired, all lighting, all flooring, base & casing, doors & hardware, entry door, all bathrooms, kitchen, stairwell, entry stairs, landscaping & irrigation, fencing, dog-washing station & stackable laundry. An amazing opportunity combining several major values: significantly renovated top-to-bottom, major space inside/out, major ocean & coastline views, no power lines, extremely quiet yet easily walkable to downtown restaurants & cafes, bikable to world-class surf at Trestles, nearby 2.5 mile beach trail, SC Pier & sandy beaches.
