About This Home

As of February 2020

~OCEAN VIEW BEAUTY IN DESIREABLE DANA POINT LANTERN DISTRICT~ True pride of ownership shows in this updated four-bedroom (one being used as an art studio with custom cabinetry in closet area) and two and a half-bathroom home. Curb appeal abounds from the pavered driveway, fresh paint, custom awnings to the private, gated, front-courtyard. Enter through the custom dutch-door to find new hickory, wide-plank, wood floors greeting you. French doors open to the private front courtyard, with a power awning, for additional outdoor living. Relax by the gas fire surrounded by lovely, stacked-stone in the family room, open to the kitchen with several custom appointments. Stainless-steel appliances, ample storage in custom cabinets with pull-out shelving, appliance garages, refrigerator, brushed granite counters and a newer, five-burner, gas range. The powder room is downstairs, off the hall leading to the two-car garage. French-doors lead to the backyard oasis with above ground spa, sail shade and freshly stained fence. Wood-planked stairway to your upstairs retreats. The art studio/fourth bedroom with an ocean view and built-in cabinetry, has door to the front balcony. The large master bedroom has a custom California Closet, balcony, and on-suite master bath with custom travertine floor, shower and vanity. The hall bath has been recently updated with Carrara Marble counter, floor and shower/tub surround. All located within a few minutes' walk to Dana Point Harbor, Shops and Dining.
