The home
About 42 Santa Clara
Nestled in the beautiful hills of Rancho San Clemente, this peaceful haven offers serenity unmatched. Located on a single-loaded cul-de-sac, the home is perfectly positioned to the west capturing amazing views framed by rolling hills and Catalina Island, direct sunsets on the horizon, and a clear view of the harbor inlet at the Dana headlands. Offering the most desirable floor plan in Pacific Shores, the downstairs ocean-view primary suite creates a single-level like living arrangement. The ocean-view primary offers high ceilings, a custom ADA tub, dual closets, dual sinks, private water closet, and walk-in shower. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms share a full bathroom equipped with dual sinks. One guest bedroom is quite oversized and the other features major views to the west with vaulted ceilings. All major living spaces including the formal living room & gas fireplace, powder bathroom, dedicated laundry room, galley kitchen (with options to open to the) ocean-view family and dining rooms are all conveniently located on the first level. Very light and bright throughout, high ceilings teamed with multiple windows allow for ample natural light to flood in. Several sliders doors create seamless indoor/outdoor living. Recently updated with new light & bright interior paint and all new carpet throughout, this home is the perfect canvas for a new owner to create their dream space and customize to their taste. Ideally positioned with a greenbelt to the south, the yard is very private with mature landscaping, a pergola, and ocean-view patios. Other values include underground utilities, expansive views from the first level and rear elevation of property, a 2-car garage with newly-painted floors, close proximity to San Clemente’s best beaches, 2.5 mile beach trail, and world-class surfing, walk to nearby schools and convenient shopping options, and just up the street from the new and popular Lifetime Fitness. Truly a great opportunity to own in one of San Clemente’s most peaceful, best-kept-secret enclaves in a primarily single-level floor plan with beautiful and preserved ocean views.
