About 128 Esplanade
Substantially remodeled since 2020 with the creation of a legal ADU, this beachy single-level offers major flexibility with two livable structures on one generous 6,000 SF lot! Well-located further down the 100-block & a straight shot down to locals’ favorite T-Street beach, this home is elevated enough to capture ocean views from the main living space. The main house offers 2 spacious bedrooms + an office, two remodeled bathrooms (with interior laundry), & a newly-opened great room. The remodeled kitchen & living room share one large open space. Several new windows were added to create an open, airy feel with an abundance of natural light. Warmed by a gas fireplace & finished throughout with Oak wood flooring & crisp white paint, this home evokes a beachy lifestyle. Thoughtfully built-out as a legal second unit, the ADU mirrors the charm & updates of the main house. Offering a full kitchen, comfortable living area, one bedroom & bath, its own separate laundry, & mini split A/C-an awesome guest house, office, kids’ zone, or legal rental! (similar units have leased for $3,000+) Finished with shiplap detailing, vaulted rustic-beamed ceilings, stainless appliances, poured-in-place concrete bar top with garage-window that opens to its own private patio, it's dialed! Other newer improvements & values include: new roof on the main house & ADU, new water heater in ADU, newer mini split system, new hardie exterior siding (front elevation), refreshed landscaping with new irrigation, updated privacy fencing, in-ground trampoline, 250 SF +/- storage room off ADU (bikes, boards, tools, beach gear, etc.), & a large Tuff Shed (10’x12’) for additional storage. A covered side stoop with hot/cold water hook-ups adds opportunity for an outdoor shower or optionality for a potential addition. A short walk (minutes) to local’s favorite & very sandy T-Street beach at the bottom of this beautifully tree-lined street at Esplanade (historic horse path). Conveniently-located with easy walkability to nearby cafes, new restaurants (Buona Forchetta), dangerously close to popular Lucky Dog Gelato & quickly walkable to grab groceries. Play volleyball at the public beach courts nearby, take the 2.5 mile beach trail to newer restaurants, cafes, bars, San Clemente Pier & beyond. Consistent surf at T-Street or a quick & fun bike ride to world-class waves at Trestles. This is an opportunity to make locals' favorite T-Street beach your backyard at this quintessential Southwest SC beach house!
