About this home

135/137/139 Avenida Sierra | Located on the ocean side of the 5 freeway in an established San Clemente neighborhood, this multi-unit income property could be the opportunity of a lifetime. Set on three separate parcels in close proximity to local beaches, parks, the Metrolink and many shopping/dining options, the property includes approximately 18,000 square feet and five units. An ocean view is available from the upper unit and the potential exists to build a new structure up from the spacious parking lot to capitalize on panoramic views of the ocean, city lights and hillsides. Currently, the property grosses over $10,200/month; 4 of the units are rented and records are available from the owner. An additional ADU could be upfitted to receive a permit and potentially bring another income stream totaling around $1,500/month. A 3-car garage and shared laundry add to the current investment value and versatility. With the potential to subdivide and build three single family homes, the property could deliver a substantial return on investment. The options are endless: live in the upper unit and enjoy the ocean breeze while renting the others, create a family compound, realize a 1031 Exchange to avoid capital gains or purchase solely as an investment and avoid the stress/fluctuations of the financial markets. Considering the premium location and the idea that the demand for Southern California real estate is unlikely to abate, the time to act is now. With the potential for appreciation and a current income stream, this versatile property could be a chance to build a legacy spanning multiple generations. Buyer and buyer's agent are responsible for verifying all information for ultimate use.

The property was built in 1948. While the listing mentions potential for upgrades and ADU, the current state suggests it's aged and requires updates. The image shows the exterior, which appears maintained but not recently renovated. Given the age, the kitchen and bathrooms are likely outdated and require renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income Potential: The property currently generates over $10,200/month in gross income from 4 rented units, offering immediate cash flow.
Development Potential: The large lot size (18,000 sq ft) and three separate parcels offer potential for subdivision and construction of single-family homes or additional ADUs.
Prime Location: Located on the ocean side of the 5 freeway in San Clemente, close to beaches, parks, Metrolink, and shopping/dining.
Ocean View Potential: The upper unit offers an ocean view, and there is potential to capitalize on panoramic ocean, city lights, and hillside views with new construction.
Versatile Investment: Suitable for various investment strategies, including living in one unit and renting others, creating a family compound, or a 1031 Exchange.

Cons

High Price Point: The list price of $5,250,000 represents a significant investment, potentially limiting the pool of qualified buyers.
