A rare offering of iconic mid-century modern architecture, this extraordinary coastal residence was designed by renowned architect Chris Abel and showcases sweeping panoramic ocean and coastline views from nearly every room. Perfectly positioned just moments from the heart of downtown San Clemente, the home captures the essence of Southern California coastal living with timeless design and spectacular vistas. A dramatic entry welcomes you with a contemporary fountain and striking spiral staircase, setting the tone for the home’s distinctive style. The main-level primary suite enjoys breathtaking ocean views, a cozy fireplace, and a beautifully remodeled spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual vanities and an oversized walk-in shower.
The thoughtfully updated kitchen blends style and function with warm wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a custom designer backsplash, and a casual dining area perfectly positioned to take in the spectacular coastal views. Upstairs, three spacious guest bedrooms are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the ever-changing Pacific coastline, filling the home with natural light and unforgettable scenery. Expansive wraparound decks on both levels, accented with sleek glass railings, provide the perfect setting for entertaining or simply enjoying sunsets, ocean breezes, and the sound of the waves. Recent improvements include new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level, new carpet upstairs, and fresh interior paint.
Combining architectural significance, sophisticated updates, and one of San Clemente’s most coveted locations just minutes from world-class beaches, Avenida Del Mar, fine dining, boutique shopping, and the coastal trail, this is a truly exceptional opportunity to own a landmark residence with some of the area’s most captivating ocean views.
