First time on the market in over 40 years! This charming duplex offers so many opportunities! A stone's throw from the ocean, you can take advantage of the quintessential Southern California lifestyle by living in your new beach house, residing in the main house and renting out the second unit, utilizing the property as a seasonal home and leasing it the remainder of the year or transforming the entire residence into an income-producing-investment - no matter what you choose, it's win-win for sure! The main house features a kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom on the first level. The upper level boasts a large primary suite with a balcony and a spacious living room complete with another balcony (with an ocean view!) and a wet bar - perfect for mixing those sunset drinks to enjoy al fresco! The secondary unit offers one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. Additional features include a detached two-car garage with storage and laundry, a long driveway for plenty of parking, an outdoor shower to wash away the sand and surf, an outdoor storage shed and a lush, private rear yard with fruit trees. This special neighborhood maintains incredible pride of ownership and many of the surrounding homes have added roof top decks to fully embrace the beauty of beach living! With the coastline mere seconds away, and the nearby San Clemente pier, exciting downtown area, shops, eateries, entertainment, parks, the local farmers' market and easy Metrolink access, you've really hit the jackpot!
