A Richmond Pointe San Clemente home has just been sold by Beach Cities Real Estate agents Sam Smith & Joseph Horsley who represented the seller. 31 Optima, San Clemente sold for $1,157,000 and closed escrow on 8/28/23. This was a quick sale as the home was originally listed at $1,169,000 and sold for $12,000 under the asking price. The three bedroom detached single family home had a lot to offer with an attached two car garage with direct access into the home. One of the biggest selling features was the high vaulted ceilings in the living room that offered a lot of natural light into the home. The kitchen and living room opened to each other making it an ideal place for entertaining. All of the bedrooms were located upstairs with a large primary walk-in closet that was a pleasant surprise.
The Richmond Pointe community is situated in the Rancho San Clemente area which is located in the hills past the San Clemente high school and east of the 5 freeway. This is an excellent place to find well priced homes that offer a short driving distance to the 5 freeway and the beach off Avenida Pico exit. Richmond Pointe is a smaller neighborhood in Rancho San Clemente so homeowners association dues tend to be on the lower side with no additional Mello Roos tax. 31 Optima was built in 1990 in the Spanish Mediterranean style which is one of the most prominent architectural styles in this area.
