About this property
At the edge of the Pacific, where the coastline becomes an extension of everyday life, this oceanfront residence in San Clemente’s Capistrano Shores offers an unusually direct connection to the sea. Positioned along the sand, the single-level home places sweeping views of the water, coastline, and horizon at the center of its design. Built in 2017, approximately 1,500 square feet of living space unfolds beneath exposed wood-beam ceilings, while expansive windows draw in natural light and capture the changing character of the ocean throughout the day. The open living and dining areas are oriented toward the view, with a contemporary fireplace providing a warm counterpoint to the coastal panorama. An adjoining kitchen brings together quartz countertops, a generous center island, custom cabinetry with self-closing drawers, a wine refrigerator, and a full suite of appliances, creating a natural gathering place that remains connected to the living spaces and the sea beyond. The flexible floor plan includes two bedrooms and a separate office with a barn door that can also serve as a third bedroom or guest retreat. The primary suite features dual vanities, quartz countertops, and a spacious shower with dual shower heads. Interior laundry, additional storage, and a Nest thermostat support the ease of everyday living. Outside, the oceanfront deck and patio become an open-air extension of the home, with uninterrupted Pacific views and the sand just beyond. A private spa invites evenings under the coastal sky, while an outdoor shower and separate exterior bathroom with its own shower make returning from the beach effortless. From the first light across the water to the last color of sunset, the setting brings the rhythms of the coastline into daily view. Capistrano Shores is an intimate, resident-owned oceanfront community of approximately 90 homes, offering a distinctive setting along San Clemente’s shoreline. Nearby coastal trails, beaches, local dining, shops, and the Outlets at San Clemente add convenience without distracting from what makes this address exceptional: a home where the Pacific is not a distant backdrop, but an immediate part of the experience.
