Perched directly on the sand within San Clemente s private Capistrano Shores enclave, this single-level cottage is a rare midcentury gem awaiting its next chapter. Preserved in remarkable detail, the approximately 1,200-square-foot residence on a 3,075-square-foot lot captures endless Pacific horizons, with unobstructed views that sweep from San Clemente s iconic pier to the Dana Point Headlands and Catalina Island beyond. Inside, the home embraces its vintage soul wood-paneled walls and ceilings, intact formica countertops, and original lighting evoke the character and charm of true midcentury design. Expansive windows frame the coastline and flood the living spaces with natural light, while the open flow between living, dining, and kitchen areas makes every moment feel connected to the sea. Two bedrooms and two baths complete the layout, offering comfort today while inspiring possibilities for thoughtful updates or a complete reimagination. Whether restored with reverence for its period details or transformed into a contemporary retreat, the potential here is as boundless as the views. Outside, a generous oceanfront patio leads directly to the sand an unrivaled vantage point for sunrise coffees, surf checks, and sunsets that paint the horizon in vivid color. Capistrano Shores is a guard-gated community of only 90 homes, celebrated for its rare on-the-sand living and close proximity to the very best of the Southern California coast. From here, surf breaks, beach trails, Dana Point s harbor, Avenida Del Mar s dining and shops, and neighborhood parks are just minutes away. 1880 N El Camino Real #38 is more than a home it s a preserved piece of California s midcentury story, set in one of the coast s most coveted oceanfront settings.
