San Clemente, CA 92672 210 W Mariposa

Prime positioning on the 200 block at one of North Beach’s best beach-close streets, this charming historic cottage is one of the rarely available & highly-desired Ole Hanson gems still in existence today. Built in 1928 & designed by acclaimed Virgil Westbrook, beyond its scarcity & innately aesthetic architecture, this home is eligible for substantial property tax savings under the Mills Act & Historic Property Preservation Agreement - call for details. With very few owners & meticulous preservation of its original character, this home boasts many rare & original key features such as wood-framed windows, exposed beams, narrow red oak wood floors, hand-painted tiles, some original light fixtures, original shaker cabinetry, doors, & hardware, each detail contributing to its authentic allure. A quaint cottage with two bedrooms (one with French door to backyard), a well-appointed bathroom with groovy cast-iron tub (space for a bathroom addition off rear while maintaining a nice yard), a generous & comfortable living room with fireplace, abundant natural light & soaring warm-wood ceilings with turquoise detailing, cozy dining room, a nostalgic kitchen with newly lacquered original cabinetry, vintage gas range, & a laundry/mud room with direct access to backyard. Upon arrival, undeniable Spanish Colonial style draws you to the arched entry landing with two original entry doors, one to the main living & one directly into one of the bedrooms. A Hollywood driveway down the left side leads to a very rare & unique full-sized two-car garage. A beautiful grassy backyard beyond offers ample space for outdoor fun & entertaining, or room to expand the home (important note: changes, improvements, & additions with appropriate historic design & integration are likely to be approved by the City of San Clemente while still maintaining the historic designation & reduced property taxes under the Mills Act). Recent improvements include a heat pump system with A/C, recent paint inside & outside. A stellar location within San Clemente’s most desirable beachside neighborhood with no HOA, no Mello-Roos, & even better, potential reduced property taxes! Easily walkable to the following: popular nearby Linda Lane Park, easy Mariposa Beach access, the 2.5 mile oceanfront beach trail, & the awesome downtown scene with new & classy restaurants, live music, shopping, & fun local events! This Ole Hanson opportunity presents a rare chance to embrace the essence of San Clemente living.
