About this home

Live the refined, beach-close lifestyle you’ve imagined at this impeccably reimagined single-level ranch home in San Clemente. Nestled within Bay Cliff Village—a coveted 55+ enclave of just 28 residences—this two-bedroom, two-bath retreat lives like a detached home, sharing only one wall. A curated blend of timeless character and modern elegance defines the property, where used brick, board-and-batten siding, and meticulous landscaping echo its 1962 heritage, while every interior detail reflects an inspired, contemporary sensibility. The approximately 1,266-square-foot floor plan unfolds with effortless flow, introduced by a custom front door that opens to a sunlit living room anchored by a bespoke fireplace. The dining area extends seamlessly to a private patio through Milgard sliding doors, while the chef’s kitchen delights with Shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, a full tile backsplash, a pantry, French-door refrigerator, and a suite of Bosch stainless-steel appliances including a five-burner cooktop, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. The guest bath features a quartz countertop and frameless glass shower enclosure, while the primary suite offers a generous closet and an ensuite bath with granite countertops, a walk-in shower, and slate tile surrounds. Thoughtful upgrades abound, including a whole-home water filtration system, tankless water heater, newly installed Hunter Douglas window coverings, and energy-efficient Milgard windows. Floors of woodgrain porcelain tile complement custom paint, Shaker-style interior doors, recessed lighting, and a laundry closet with full-size washer and dryer. Outdoor living shines with a Trex deck and irrigated landscaping, complemented by direct, private access from the patio to a separate one-car garage—one of only four in the community with this rare advantage. The garage includes built-in storage, and both the home and garage were re-roofed in 2024. A recently sleeved sewer line adds peace of mind, ensuring the property is as functional as it is beautifully maintained. Home can be purchased fully furnished at an additional cost. Bay Cliff Village is designed for connection, with meandering pathways, lush central park spaces, and a welcoming clubhouse for neighborhood gatherings. Moments from the sand, Shorecliffs Golf Club, San Gorgonio Park, and local shopping, this home blends everyday ease with coastal sophistication.

Despite being built in 1962, this property has been 'impeccably reimagined' with extensive, recent renovations. The kitchen features modern Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a full tile backsplash, and a suite of Bosch stainless-steel appliances, all appearing new and high-quality. Both bathrooms are fully updated with modern vanities, quartz/granite countertops, frameless glass shower enclosures, and contemporary tile work. Key systems have also been recently addressed, including a re-roof in 2024, new energy-efficient Milgard windows, a tankless water heater, and a sleeved sewer line. The woodgrain porcelain tile flooring and recessed lighting throughout further confirm that all components are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance, aligning perfectly with an 'excellent' condition score.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Renovation: The home boasts an impeccably reimagined interior with contemporary finishes, including a chef's kitchen with Bosch stainless-steel appliances, quartz counters, updated bathrooms, woodgrain porcelain tile, and recessed lighting.
Significant Infrastructure Upgrades: Recent and valuable updates such as a whole-home water filtration system, tankless water heater, energy-efficient Milgard windows, 2024 re-roofing (home and garage), and a sleeved sewer line provide peace of mind and reduce future maintenance.
Desirable Coastal Location & Community Amenities: Prime San Clemente location, 'beach-close,' with easy access to golf, parks, and shopping, within the well-maintained Bay Cliff Village 55+ community offering pathways, central park spaces, and a clubhouse.
Rare Private Garage Access: A unique advantage of direct, private access from the patio to a separate one-car garage with built-in storage, a feature available to only four homes in the community.
Single-Level & Private Living: Offers convenient single-level living in a ranch-style home that 'lives like a detached home' by sharing only one wall, providing enhanced privacy within the community.

Cons

Age-Restricted Community (55+): The property is situated within a 55+ community, which significantly restricts the eligible buyer demographic and may limit market appeal and resale potential.
Shared Wall: Despite being described as living 'like a detached home,' the property explicitly shares one wall, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a completely standalone residence.
Compact Square Footage: With approximately 1,266 square feet of living space, the home is relatively compact, potentially limiting appeal for buyers desiring larger living areas or more bedrooms.
