Welcome to one of San Clemente's most artistic and creative beach houses on a massive ocean-view lot! Positioned high above on a level 11,310 SF parcel, this home is extremely private, completely fenced in with an automatic gated driveway. Upon first impression, this property is truly stunning. Extremely custom hand-laid masonry, imaginative landscaping, and next-level lighting all illuminate the curb appeal of this southeast abode. Upon entry through the custom stone archway and Dutch door, a little slice of heaven lies beyond. The covered craftsman front entryway, attention to detail on the home's facade and sprawling grounds in the front yard is mind-blowing. A poured-in-place concrete gas fire table creates the perfect place to cozy up at night with an amazing ocean view to the southwest. The artisanship in the masonry is masterfully executed, truly a work of art and very thematic throughout the property. Upon entering, the great room is about as charming as they come. This beachy yet enchanting space is sure to impress with one large room teaming an open kitchen with concrete counters, commercial range, stainless appliances, wide-plank wood floors, open beamed ceilings, giant doors to patio, and the loveliest rendition of a brick wall you've ever seen. Off the main living space is a remodeled bathroom and one massive bedroom with vaulted ceilings (originally, two bedrooms). A very unique floor plan and ideal with the perfect SC weather, the master is its own separate guest suite across the rear grounds. Step inside the most relaxing room with detailed fireplace, stained concrete floors, the most artistic stonework known to the mankind and into the spacious master bathroom. This bathroom is too amazing with attention to detail in every stone placed. Off the bathroom, an auxiliary room can be used as master closet, third bedroom, home office, or an extension of an already oversized garage. Outside, the grounds are just spectacular. An in-ground rockscape spa with tranquil waterfall sets the vibe. Covered outdoor lounging and dining is surrounded by a tropical oasis. For those seeking ideal California outdoor living, this is bar none front to back. Parking for about five cars comfortably makes for the most fun party compound. No HOA, close to great new restaurants, the 2.5 mile beach trail, world-class surfing at Trestles, and downtown San Clemente. There's so much detail and artisanship throughout this quintessential cottage, it's truly a must-see.
