Cozy and functional, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers just over 1,000 square feet of interior living space.

Dozens of cafes, restaurants, bars, and boutique shops line nearby Avenida Del Mar, offering a unique blend of small-town charm and modern convenience. The San Clemente pier, local beaches, and the scenic beach trail are all within short distance, as are the community center and the Cabrillo Playhouse. The year-round San Clemente trolley stops nearby, offering free rides around town. With effortless access to the 5 Freeway, the rest of Southern California is at your fingertips. This rare gem is an opportunity to be part of San Clemente's history and write your own chapter in its story.
