268 Del Gado Rd

One of the most desirable homes to become available in Vista Del Gado in years, this mid century modern bungalow impresses from corner to corner. Designed by renowned architect Chris Abel, this home sits on the edge of the community and takes in panoramic views from Saddleback mountain to the southern hills of San Clemente and overlooking the golf course. Clean, modern updates include Turkish limestone flooring, high-end walnut cabinetry, newly-polished Carrera Marble countertops w/ waterfall, glass backsplash, and stainless JennAir appliances. The large master bedroom and spacious second bedroom have sliding glass doors that open to a very private fenced in patio. The bathroom has a spa-like feel with stone tile floor to ceiling. Illuminated by a skylight, the bathroom has a large walk-in shower w/ Kohler fixtures and rain head, and a floating dual vanity with granite countertops and walnut veneer. Other noteworthy home upgrades include Philips Hue lighting throughout, Legrand Adorne switches and outlets, walnut interior doors w/ Emtek hardware, and dual-paned windows and sliding glass doors. The closet w/ AV equipment is furnished with over $16,000 in tech upgrades. Functional upgrades to the home include plumbing repipe (previous owner) and foundation reinforcement with piers (current owner had installed). The detached one-car garage was renovated in 2020 with epoxy flooring, new cabinetry, wall shelves and racks, and LED lighting. The large back patio offers a serene setting with the views and a great spot for lounging or al fresco dining. Truly a unique opportunity to be just half a mile from the beach, biking trail, five minutes to downtown San Clemente, and in a mid century timepiece designed by Chris Abel.
