Situated just a quarter mile from the beach, this charming mid-century modern bungalow is nestled in the highly sought-after Vista Del Gado community. With only 54 residences designed by acclaimed architect Chris Abel, the neighborhood seamlessly blends timeless architecture with a quintessential beach lifestyle. Residents can easily access San Clemente or Dana Point via the paved path along PCH, offering convenient access to beaches, dining, coffee shops, and nightlife. The private community exudes the tranquility of a peaceful Palm Springs enclave, complete with a solar-heated saltwater pool - an ideal spot for relaxation and unwinding. This turnkey 912 sqft bungalow has been remodeled with many upgrades. Enter through the gate to a spacious front patio perfect for lounging and easy entertaining, with views of the neighborhood and distant mountains. Indoor/outdoor living is easy through the French doors into the thoughtfully designed home which boasts beamed ceilings with dark accents, true to mid-century modernist architecture and creating a “floating” effect in the structure. A light and bright kitchen opens to the main living area with abundant storage space in white shaker cabinets, a large peninsula with bar seating illuminated by pendant lights, quartz counters, and stainless appliances. The generously-sized primary bedroom, warmed by an accent brick wall, leads to a private back patio with composite decking. The secondary bedroom also shares back deck access through a sliding door. The full bathroom is flooded with natural light and features dual vanities, a large manual vented skylight, and tasteful updates throughout. Other property offerings include central air conditioning (uncommon in this neighborhood), cool roof, tankless water heater, luxury vinyl flooring throughout, dual-paned windows and doors, upgraded electrical panel, and a detached 1-car garage closeby. Opportunities to own in this community are more than rare, making this offering a unique chance to own a mid-century timepiece in a community just steps away from all the treasures that San Clemente has to offer.
