About this property
The Calle Marlena Residence is a masterfully reimagined coastal retreat, blending modern architecture with warm, organic design. Originally a 1970s home, this approximately 3,800 sq.ft. residence has been transformed by renowned local architect James Glover into a sophisticated ocean-view sanctuary featuring 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Designed to maximize panoramic ocean views and seamless indoor-outdoor living, the open-concept floor plan is enhanced by expansive pocketing door systems that dissolve the boundaries between interior spaces and multiple private courtyards. The entertainer's exterior is equally impressive, featuring a resort-style spa, multiple terrace levels, and a sprawling ocean-view patio strung with café lights — perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. A dedicated fire pit lounge area and built-in outdoor media wall with seating extend the living space well beyond the interior walls. An upper-level deck with a sculptural bowl fire pit and glass railing captures breathtaking sunset views over the Pacific and out to Catalina and beyond, offering an intimate setting for year-round outdoor living. A private primary suite courtyard — complete with a suspended rope swing daybed — opens directly to the bedroom through sliding glass doors, creating a tranquil indoor-outdoor sanctuary. The chef's kitchen is a standout, showcasing custom walnut cabinetry with integrated panel appliances, dual leathered granite and travertine island surfaces, professional Wolf gas range, Wolf double wall ovens, a built-in wine refrigerator, and globe pendant lighting — all flowing seamlessly toward the outdoors through expansive folding glass doors. Natural materials were thoughtfully curated throughout, including wide-plank wood and limestone flooring, custom walnut cabinetry, leathered granite and travertine countertops, copper accents, stucco finishes, and rich stone elements. Situated behind the private gates of prestigious Cyprus Shore, residents enjoy direct beach access at both gates, community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and a landscaped park with a serene koi pond. World-class surfing at Trestles is just minutes away, making this one of the most coveted addresses on the Southern California coast. The result is a timeless expression of modern organic architecture — elegant yet inviting, refined yet comfortable — offering an exceptional coastal lifestyle in one of San Clemente's most desirable locations.
