1880 N El Camino Real #57

When only the finest views, craftsmanship, features and location are acceptable, this luxurious oceanfront home will exceed your expectations in the private San Clemente enclave of Capistrano Shores. Settled right at the edge of the beach, the residence presents panoramic 180º views that sweep across the Pacific Ocean, breaking waves, Catalina Island, San Clemente’s pier and Dana Point’s harbor and headlands. This exceptional setting complements a custom two-story Dutch Colonial-inspired home that measures approximately 2,501 square feet and includes four bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths. A custom Dutch door with leaded-glass window provides a welcoming introduction to the first floor, which is centered around a chef-caliber kitchen with limestone countertops, white Shaker soft-close cabinetry with illuminated glass uppers, an island with seating, cabinet-matched dishwasher and Sub-Zero refrigerator, a wine refrigerator and six-burner Wolf range. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor, and the second level displays a spacious bedroom with built-in bunk beds. The primary suite is an elegant sanctuary complete with an ocean-view balcony that is accessed by arched French doors. Custom built-ins embellish the walk-in closet, and the ensuite bath is finished with marble, a walk-in shower, two sinks and a soaking tub. The laundry room features outdoor access and a butler’s pantry, and all bedrooms showcase custom built-ins and walk-in closets with custom storage systems. Enjoy high-end appointments that include hand-scraped oak flooring, beamed tongue-and-groove ceilings, crown molding, plantation shutters, classic transom windows over most doors, automatic shades, storm shutters, a Nest system, security system, four-zone HVAC, and Crestron indoor/outdoor audio. The homesite reveals a seawall with stairs to the beach, a gated entry patio that flows to an outdoor entertainment space with Infratech heaters, and a built-in kitchen with leathered-granite countertop, Lynx grill and burner, and Zephyr refrigerator. An outdoor-access powder room, outdoor shower, fire pit, retractable awning, and a storage area are also included, and storm shutters enclose the space when needed. Genuine copper downspouts, rain gutters and flashing accent the exterior with a beautiful green patina, and Hardie Board siding protects the exterior from the elements.
