Positioned close to the coast, this thoughtfully updated mid-century modern bungalow sits in San Clemente’s architecturally significant Vista Del Gado community. Designed by renowned architect Chris Abel and limited to only 54 residences, the neighborhood blends iconic design with a laid-back coastal lifestyle. Residents enjoy being up the road from the beach, downtown San Clemente, and Dana Point via a paved trail along Pacific Coast Highway, with coffee shops, dining, and surf close at hand. Inside, the 912 sqft home has been tastefully remodeled and features wide-plank white oak LVP throughout, installed in 2024 and enhancing the home’s warmth. Gently vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create the signature “floating” effect found in Abel’s designs, while French doors open to a private front patio with views of the neighborhood and distant mountains. The open kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, stainless appliances, and a large peninsula with bar seating, illuminated by mid-century inspired globe pendants. The primary bedroom, accented by a classic brick wall, opens to a tranquil back patio with composite decking, also accessible from the secondary bedroom via sliding glass doors. Additional features include central A/C (rare for this neighborhood), a cool roof, tankless water heater, dual-paned windows and doors, upgraded electrical panel, and a detached one-car garage nearby. The private community evokes the calm of a Palm Springs hideaway, complete with a solar-heated saltwater pool and lush, well-kept landscaping. Vista Del Gado homes rarely hit the market. This is a unique opportunity to own a true piece of California architecture near the coast in one of San Clemente’s most coveted enclaves.
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.
