Taken down to the studs and redesigned with exceptional attention to detail, this property lives like a brand-new custom residence. As you step through the oversized Rift-cut white oak pivot door, you’re welcomed into sunlit interiors with gallery-height ceilings and wide-plank French oak flooring. Expansive folding glass doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. They open to an ocean-facing terrace, perfect for hosting or relaxing while taking in the view. This seamless transition connects the great room, living room, and kitchen—each offering uninterrupted panoramic ocean views and effortless coastal living. The kitchen was designed to impress, featuring a 10-foot Taj Mahal quartzite island, custom rift-cut cabinetry with glass panel accents, and sweeping ocean vistas. High-end appliances include a True commercial refrigerator, Thermador professional range, Miele built-in coffee station and dishwasher, Vinotemp wine dispenser, and Thor beverage center with sink and ice maker. The primary suite offers panoramic ocean views, a private lounge patio, custom walk-in closet, and a spa-quality bath with Namibia Mystery Blue marble, dual vanities, a sculptural soaking tub, and an oversized rain shower. Two additional bedrooms share a designer bath with slab stone surrounds and custom vanities. A fourth bedroom, with its own private entrance and full bath, provides flexibility for guests or an office. Set on a spacious 7,808-square-foot lot, the home also features lush landscaping, a peaceful cul-de-sac location, and a car enthusiast’s finished three-car garage with glass-panel doors, marble-look epoxy floors, and a large inlaid TV. Perfectly positioned just minutes from world-class beaches, downtown Dana Point, the private Monarch Bay Beach Club, and Dana Point Harbor, this home is situated in one of the most coveted coastal enclaves in Orange County. With panoramic ocean views from nearly every major living space and custom-caliber design throughout, 23262 Ellice Circle truly has it all and is the perfect blend of luxury, location, and lifestyle.
