1001 buena vista

Elevated on one of San Clemente's most view-focused streets, this remodeled end-unit condo captures crisp blue ocean horizon, Catalina Island & year-round sunset views from a coveted perch just above the coastline. A smart reverse floor plan places both bedrooms on the main level with the living spaces upstairs to chase the light & the view. Step through the entry where brand-new laminate wood-style flooring & designer tile run throughout beneath a freshly painted interior that feels crisp & move-in ready. Both bedrooms are private ensuite retreats, with the primary opening through sliders to a large covered walkout deck built for morning coffee & quiet evenings. An open-rail staircase with warm wood treads & horizontal metal railing climbs to the upper level where the home truly opens up. The vaulted great room centers on a gas fireplace that warms the living area & flows to a private balcony framing the crisp blue horizon, Catalina Island & some of the best sunsets on the coast. The adjacent kitchen is generously scaled with brand-new tile flooring, modern wood cabinetry, sparkling white quartz counters, stainless steel appliances & comfortable breakfast bar seating. A dedicated powder bath upstairs is ideally positioned for guests. A rare find for the area, this unit features central A/C, along with dual-pane windows & a newer 2017 HVAC system. Two parking spaces convey, one covered in the community garage & a second tucked behind private gates on the side of the building. Just out front, a shared bluff-top common area sits at the front of the community with phenomenal views sweeping down the coastline toward the Dana Point Harbor & pier. Even better, the home is moments from direct beach access via the El Portal staircase leading right onto the San Clemente Beach Trail, with 204's beach access & world-class surf just below. A short stroll reaches the historic Ole Hanson Beach Club & the highly-anticipated San Clemente Food Hall (opening soon), while downtown's Avenida del Mar shopping, dining & cafes sit just minutes away. For those chasing an easy beachside lifestyle in one of coastal Southern California's premier surf towns, this turnkey end-unit is the opportunity!
