Property Description

Positioned atop a secluded bluff overlooking the Pacific, this oceanfront penthouse in San Clemente presents a rare opportunity to experience coastal living with both privacy and architectural distinction. One of only three residences in an intimate building, the home captures sweeping views of whitewater, city lights, and the iconic San Clemente Pier from its elevated vantage point. Spanning approximately 3,287 square feet on a single level, the interior is accessible by private elevator or a spiral stair rising from the courtyard. The layout is open and intentional, with the kitchen, dining area, and living room unfolding toward a full-width oceanfront terrace. Floor-to-ceiling glass invites natural light and frames uninterrupted coastal views, while a terrace fireplace creates a focal point for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The kitchen is both functional and expressive, anchored by a central island and detailed with granite countertops, a skylight, and walk-in pantry. A suite of KitchenAid appliances, including a built-in refrigerator, blends utility with understated design. Adjacent to the kitchen, a dedicated wet bar with wine refrigeration supports seamless entertaining. The dining space is defined by custom cabinetry and a second fireplace, offering warmth and cohesion to the open plan. The primary suite is oriented toward the ocean, with sliding doors that open to the terrace. A custom walk-in closet, spa-like bath with jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, and overhead skylights contribute to a quiet, restorative atmosphere. Two secondary bedrooms share a sophisticated Hollywood-style bathroom, while a spacious media room with vaulted ceilings, a corner fireplace, and private balcony offers added flexibility for hosting or retreat. Additional features include secure subterranean parking for four vehicles and a location just moments from downtown San Clemente’s shops, cafés, coastal paths, and beaches. This luxury penthouse is a rare expression of refined coastal living in one of Southern California’s most sought-after enclaves.
