Property Description
Drawing inspiration from the great shingled estates of Cape Cod yet firmly rooted on the sands of San Clemente, this oceanfront residence in Capistrano Shores is a study in craftsmanship, proportion, and restraint. Set directly at the water's edge, both levels command sweeping views of the Pacific, Catalina Island, the harbor, pier, and coastline stretching north and south. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet with six bedrooms and five baths, the home is composed for legacy living, generous in scale and intentional in every line. Arrival unfolds along a gated side approach, creating a refined transition to the interior, while the rear oceanfront terrace becomes the true centerpiece with honed travertine underfoot, a private sandy lounge area, and dedicated stairs descending directly to the beach. A pass-through kitchen window, outdoor shower, and convenient bath access create a seamless exchange between sea and interior. Inside, a Dutch door opens to light-filled living spaces defined by coffered ceilings, tailored millwork, and a commanding picture window that frames the Pacific as living artwork. The kitchen has been thoughtfully reimagined with satin Taj Mahal quartzite, custom cabinetry, integrated beverage drawers and ice maker, an Ann Sacks tile backsplash, and an apron-front sink, refined and understated, designed for gathering. Whitewater Oak LVP flooring unifies the home. Brazilian quartzite defines the butler's bar and laundry, while labradorite granite lends depth to the upstairs guest bath. Of the two oceanfront primary suites, one bath is appointed in satin Taj Mahal quartzite and a Toto toilet, while the other features crema marfil marble countertop with dual sinks. Each primary suite opens to its own private balcony suspended above the horizon. Vaulted ceilings crown the upper level, where a bonus lounge and custom bunk rooms provide flexible accommodations without sacrificing architectural cohesion. Plantation shutters, curated stone selections, and bespoke built-ins reinforce the home's sense of permanence. Automatic exterior shades and storm shutters integrate protection discreetly into the architecture, preserving clean lines and uninterrupted views. Capistrano Shores remains one of San Clemente's most iconic oceanfront enclaves, moments from surf breaks, coastal trails, and downtown, yet wonderfully removed. A legacy residence at the edge of the Pacific, where architecture and horizon exist in deliberate balance.
