Perched atop the scenic hills of San Clemente, this home offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of Dana Point Harbor, the Pacific Ocean, and Catalina Island from the moment you arrive. Situated on a private, quiet single-loaded street, this two-story single-family residence welcomes you with a lush, landscaped front yard and an open-concept floor plan filled with natural light from large tinted windows. The updated interior showcases new luxury vinyl flooring and fresh paint throughout, creating a modern and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen, complete with new appliances, seamlessly flows into the living room, where a see-through fireplace with raised slate hearths on both sides adds warmth and coziness—perfect for intimate family moments or lively gatherings with friends. The dining area and living room both feature sliding glass doors that open to the back patio, offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring sliding glass doors that open to an expansive 20'x8' deck, perfect for enjoying ocean breezes, unobstructed sunset views, or stargazing under an open sky. There is also a breakfast porch off the primary bedroom, providing an additional intimate outdoor space for morning coffee or quiet reflection. The en-suite primary bath enhances the luxury, while two additional bedrooms upstairs provide versatile options for a home office or guest room. The backyard is a lush oasis, adorned with palm trees and vibrant greenery, featuring covered patios and a raised sitting area ideal for leisurely Sunday brunches or unwinding as the sun sets over the Pacific. On hot summer days, the back patio is equipped with remote-controlled sunscreens, providing adjustable shade and privacy with the touch of a button. For convenience, there's a laundry room located at the garage door entry, adding to the home's functional design. Conveniently located just moments from downtown San Clemente's charming shops and restaurants, premier shopping at The Outlets, and some of Orange County's most picturesque beaches, this home also sits around the corner from one of the most beautiful LifeTime fitness gyms in Orange County. This luxury athletic resort and tennis club offers lighted tennis courts, hosts international pickleball tournaments, and features a resort-like pool, a gourmet cafe, and an array of amenities dedicated to healthy living—all set in a gorgeous setting.
