About This Home
As of September 2025Welcome to 38 Via Sonrisa, an exquisite coastal sanctuary nestled within the gates of San Clemente’s Pacific Crest community. This impeccably upgraded four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence offers approximately 2,908 square feet of sophisticated living space on a rare, oversized lot, combining timeless elegance with the relaxed luxury of Southern California beachside living. From the moment you step through the private gated courtyard you’re greeted by an atmosphere of refinement and serenity. Inside, the home reveals its masterful design with a grand formal entry with double height ceilings that opens into expansive living and dining spaces, appointed with rich, distressed dark wood flooring as well as stone flooring and designer finishes. A main-floor office or optional guest suite offers flexible functionality, while gracious formal spaces are perfect for entertaining on any scale. The heart of the home is a chef’s dream—a spectacular, fully remodeled kitchen adorned with thick granite slab countertops, custom cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances. A large central island invites gathering, while the adjoining breakfast nook and great room—with its bespoke entertainment center, surround sound, and elegant fireplace—offer the perfect backdrop for everyday luxury. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms provide comfort and privacy. Outside, the oversized lot becomes an entertainer’s paradise, with lush grassy areas, private lounging spaces, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The finished garage adds further convenience with custom built-ins, overhead storage, a well-appointed workbench, and owned solar panels. Set just moments from the shimmering shores of the Pacific, this home offers more than just an address—it promises a lifestyle. San Clemente, affectionately known as the “Spanish Village by the Sea,” enchants with its white-sand beaches, coastal trails, charming downtown boutiques, and vibrant culinary scene. From sunrise strolls along the beach trail to sunset dinners overlooking the ocean, life here is both luxurious and endlessly inspiring. With proximity to the San Clemente Outlets, world-renowned surf breaks, and the historic pier, every day feels like a vacation. 38 Via Sonrisa is more than a home—it is an elevated coastal experience, where beauty, comfort, and sophistication live in harmony just steps from the sea. Discover the allure of refined living by the beach in this truly exceptional San Clemente residence.
