First time on the market in over 30 years for a reason, this home has been loved & enjoyed by its owners for decades. Well-positioned on an ocean-view, street-to-street row inside the desirable & 24-hr guard-gated Cyprus Shore neighborhood, this is one of the most sought-after addresses in all of San Clemente. Offering a generous rectangular 6,900 SF lot (115' x 60' with major potential to develop a large-scale home), other homes along this row have even gone subterranean with massive garage spaces & extensive custom builds up & over. The second level (& a third roof deck level both) WOULD offer more ocean view from a new home built to today's maximized standards. The existing & turnkey midcentury home could also be enhanced & enjoyed with simple cosmetic changes (flooring & paint). Ascending vaulted ceilings in natural wood with a central fireplace enhance the main living level where an ocean-view great room (living, dining, kitchen, & informal dining) shares space with the primary bedroom - all on the main / upper living level. The primary offers a private deck overlooking the front of the home. A wraparound lanai deck can be accessed from the living room by multiple sliding doors & off of the informal dining space. A generous kitchen is open to the great room, all with pops of the emerald horizon accenting the view beyond. On the lower level, double doors feature custom stained glass. An entry room leads to two bedrooms that share a full bathroom, a spacious interior laundry room & storage room. A large wraparound patio with an outdoor shower is accessed by both lower bedrooms. The property is street-to-street with Calle Louisa & a straight shot down to the exclusive south gate beach access right at Cottons Point. Outside, several mature trees from front to back create an amazing natural feeling abound. An oversized driveway & garage are elevated off the street. SC's most exclusive enclave, Cyprus Shores offers a multitude of amenities: 24-hr guard gate & security, two clubhouses, lap pool, spa, tennis & pickleball courts, an oceanfront observation deck with views from Cottons to Dana Headlands, golf cart parking, two private beach access points with newly-remodeled community bathrooms, walkable/bikeable to world class surfing at Trestles, a Hawaii-like park with recently refurbished Koi pond, mature trees & sprawling green lawns where residents may host private events. Truly a special opportunity in the ideal location within a dreamy neighborhood!
