Lifestyle upgrade at its very finest, this quintessential southwest beach house is just steps to the sand at locals’ favorite Lasuen neighborhood and (“Lost Winds”) beach. Sited on the premiere oceanfront street, Calle de los Alamos and surrounded by other custom homes, this well-maintained, single-level home captures a rare view of the ocean, Catalina Island, and sunsets across the way. Other peek ocean views can be seen from the dining room, front deck, and kitchen. Upon entering a beachy Dutch door from the front viewing deck, soaring beamed-ceilings draw you inside. Illuminated by natural light, this room is truly an amazing living space anchored by a mid-century gas fireplace, a large bay window with casement side lites that open to the cooling sea breeze, and pops of an emerald blue horizon in several directions. In the upgraded kitchen, new counter tops, cabinets, flooring, lighting and appliances were added in 2021. With three bedrooms plus a generous den or office (potential 4th bedroom/no closet), this home offers ample space. In the rear bedrooms, both offer direct access by Andersen slider doors to the outdoor areas. The primary suite features two closets, ceiling fan, rear access and remodeled en-suite bathroom as of 2021. The backyard is private with a massive, shaded patio and pergola. A generous rear/side yard with potted succulents, ample sun and outdoor space offers room for numerous uses including gardening, grass, and even room for a lap pool if desired. Other newer and important improvements include: recent fumigation, Certainteed Presidential TL Solaris roof with reflective insulation, a whole house fan for temperature control, gutters & downspouts, washer/dryer, wood fencing, kitchen & primary bathroom, garage door & mechanisms, and upgraded rear drainage (French drains). This home truly exemplifies pride of ownership throughout and has been meticulously-maintained. Another value is the generous 2-car garage at street level and two level spaces in the driveway. Walk out your front door to Leslie park or onto the sand at Lost Winds in a matter of minutes (nearby access). Play volleyball at the public courts below, take the 2.5 mile beach trail to many newer restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and the iconic San Clemente Pier. Amazing beach break surfing just out front or a quick and fun bike ride to world-class surf at Trestles. This is an opportunity to make locals' favorite Lost Winds your backyard at this iconic southwest beach house!
