Set behind the gates of Sea Ridge Estates, this Spanish Colonial-inspired coastal residence blends panoramic ocean views, mature landscaping, and a level of privacy rarely found in San Clemente. Positioned on a private lot with preserved open space behind the home, the property combines timeless architecture with a setting that feels calm and removed from the surrounding neighborhood. Framed by lush landscaping and manicured grounds, the home immediately stands out with its smooth stucco exterior, clay tile roof, dramatic arched entry, and charming courtyard. Inside, approximately 3,200 square feet of living space unfolds with high ceilings, wood-look plank tile flooring, custom beam work, ornate wrought iron staircase detailing, and multiple fireplaces that create a warm coastal aesthetic. Two bifolding doors open the main living areas to the backyard, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen balances everyday functionality with entertaining, featuring built-in appliances, a large center island, extensive cabinetry, two walk-in pantries, and a butler’s bar positioned between the main living spaces for easy entertaining. Just off the courtyard, a dedicated office provides a quiet and private workspace filled with natural light. The outdoor living spaces were designed to take advantage of the property’s unique setting, with expansive decking, pergola-covered dining areas, glass view fencing, and multiple gathering spaces overlooking preserved canyon open space and panoramic ocean views. A large built-in fire feature anchors the main seating area, while the outdoor BBQ and dining spaces allow the backyard to function as a natural extension of the home. One of the property’s most unique features is the private access down to an additional viewing area positioned behind the home, offering a peaceful setting to enjoy unobstructed ocean and canyon views with no rear neighbors. Upstairs, the primary suite captures excellent natural light and ocean views, while offering a private deck, walk-in closet, and an updated bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Secondary bedrooms each offer their own unique character with balcony access and private outdoor spaces, while the junior suite includes its own updated ensuite bathroom. Combining timeless architecture, panoramic coastal views, preserved open space, and beautifully maintained living spaces, this is a rare offering within one of San Clemente’s most sought-after gated communities.
