Tucked away on a corner lot just one block to the beach, this mid century beach cottage is an architectural gem.

Energy efficient amenities like solar panels, a metal roof and an EV charger are the perfect addition to this darling home. As you open the front gate, the privacy enjoyed by this home is a rare bonus in beach close neighborhoods. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings add a sense of space and light and compliment the original oak plank floors meticulously restored throughout the home.

The kitchen is a throwback to simpler times with mid century wood cabinetry and an original wall oven. The sun lit master bedroom is unusually spacious with additional windows out to the private yard. A stylish wood wall captures the eye in the secondary bedroom. The true character of this home can be found in the outside spaces. The yard features several sitting areas, raised garden beds and mature fruit trees including lemon, fig, mandarin, olive and peach. Walk out your front door and down the block to the Mariposa Beach access and within minutes, you are enjoying world class beaches or browsing shops and restaurants on Avenida del Mar. Come live the San Clemente lifestyle in this quintessential beach cottage.
