The home
About 1501 S Ola Vista
An iconic example of retro beach style, this mid century home is a throwback to a simpler time, VW surf vans and bonfires at the beach. Situated on an expansive 9,000 square foot lot in southwest San Clemente and walking distance to award winning beaches, this property is beyond unique. The mid-century architectural details are impressive - vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, paneled walls and huge picture windows. The warm and inviting living area is centered around the large brick fireplace and enjoys views from the floor to ceiling windows to the backyard. An open concept dining room and kitchen encourages relaxing and entertaining after a long day at the beach. As you stroll down the hallway, notice all the built-in storage and the darling windows that let in natural light. Two secondary bedrooms and a guest bath offer versatile space and room to spread out. The private master bedroom adds a modern touch to this floor plan with an en-suite master bath and spacious storage. The most impressive feature of this home is the expansive 9,000 sq. ft. lot that is a rarity so close to the beach. The backyard showcases this space and will encourage creative discussions on the endless possibilities. Expand, add a second story or create the ultimate backyard entertaining space. Grab your surfboard and walk to T-Street or Lost Winds beach, hop in your golf cart and cruise to Riviera Beach or stroll downtown to the shops and restaurants on Avenida del Mar.
