The home
About 212 W Avenida Valencia
Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this exceptional 1929 Spanish Colonial Revival is a rare offering in the coveted Southwest—lovingly maintained in its authentic character and rich with provenance. Designed by architect E.W. Klausen and built by O.M. Berg for William Thom, then Mayor of Pasadena, the home is recognized on the City’s Designated Historic Resources & Landmarks list—an address with history, craft, and quiet gravitas. Set on a rare 9,520 sq. ft. lot-and-a-half and spanning approx. 1,891 sq. ft., the 3 bed, 2.5 bath home is a study in preserved craftsmanship—where the architecture and interiors still speak the same language. True to its roots, a composed roofline blends hip and front-gable forms, finished in Spanish clay tile, while original wood casement windows remain throughout, holding the home’s scale, proportions, and warmth. Inside, the kind of material integrity that rarely survives intact sets the tone: lath-and-plaster walls, original doors and hardware, and glass knobs paired with a classic skeleton key—small, cinematic details that instantly place the home in its era. The interior doors feature distinctive round medallion-style carving, adding texture and artistry to everyday passages. Underfoot, 1” wood planks laid in a meticulous 3–4–5 pattern reflect a level of craftsmanship nearly impossible to replicate today. The living room is anchored by a statement Talavera-tiled fireplace with period ventilation detailing, framed by dramatic wood-beamed ceilings and softened by natural light. In the dining room, original built-in corner curio cabinets add a collected, timeless finish—equal parts function and charm. The grounds feel established and private—staghorn ferns, mature landscaping, and a Spanish pergola-style setting creating an atmosphere of calm. A long gravel driveway leads to the original high-ceiling two-car garage and generous additional parking, with a classic wing wall creating a graceful connection between the residence and the detached garage. Balconies—including a primary balcony with ocean views—bring the coast into everyday life. Just two blocks from the beach, this is San Clemente living at its most timeless—morning surf, sunset strolls, and a home that holds the story of it all. Eligible for the Mills Act, this is legacy with the potential for meaningful property tax advantages. An invitation to preserve and steward one of San Clemente’s historic originals.
