Just a short stroll from Lasuen (Lost Winds) Beach, one of San Clemente's most iconic stretches of sand, 214 Calle Marina offers a rare opportunity to embrace the coveted Southwest lifestyle for under $2.5M. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath coastal retreat balances laidback charm with thoughtful updates, all set on one of the area's most desirable streets. The main level features two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath upgraded with a deep soaking tub and shower--perfect after a day in the waves. Wood-look tile floors flow throughout, combining breezy style with easy beachside maintenance. A brick fireplace anchors the living room, while a breakfast nook invites casual dining with garden views. The kitchen is both warm and functional, outfitted with Samsung appliances including a smart oven, soft-close cabinetry, pull-out sliding shelves, corner lazy susans, and a butcher block island--designed with abundant storage and everyday ease in mind. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private escape with a walk-in closet, dual sinks, and a spacious walk-in shower. A loft with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and its own brick fireplace opens to a sunlit deck, where ocean views remind you just how close you are to the sand and surf. A convenient half bath completes the space. Outdoors, the home reveals one of its rarest offerings--a large backyard with an expansive, low-maintenance turf lawn framed by mature tropical landscaping and an orange tree. It's an inviting canvas for weekend gatherings, quiet morning coffee, or future expansion. Set in a community known for its charm, surf culture, and timeless appeal, this is more than a home--it's an entry into the Southwest San Clemente way of life. With direct access to beaches, trails, and the vibrant heart of town, this property combines location, lifestyle, and long-term potential in a way few homes can. 214 Calle Marina is your chance to inhabit a coastal haven where the ocean is near, the setting is irreplaceable, and the possibilities are endless.
