Enjoy extraordinary outdoor living with fabulous beach, coastline, Catalina Island and sunset views at this open and airy home in Dana Point’s guard-gated Beach Road, where a beachfront deck and upper-level balcony are more than twice as deep as most in the neighborhood. At nearly 7,000 square feet, the extra-spacious homesite extends on the sand to the median high-tide mark and includes dual sea-level sea walls. The brick and tile deck is large enough for big and small gatherings and includes a covered patio and a tropical palapa. A gated entrance leads to a double-height foyer with interior balcony above, creating an atrium-style setting with picture windows and French doors that frame ocean views. A fireplace with stone hearth warms the living room, and the dining room flows into a kitchen with garden window, stainless-steel appliances, wood cabinetry with glass uppers, a pantry, and a peninsula that provides the perfect spot for small bites while entertaining. Five bedrooms and three baths ensure comfort for everyone in a generous floorplan of approximately 2,396 square feet that is embellished with built-ins, crown molding, wainscoting, plantation shutters and stained-glass windows. A vaulted and beamed ceiling complements a primary suite with a sitting area, fireplace, ocean-view balcony with spiral staircase to the deck below, a jetted tub, and closets with mirrored wardrobe doors. The attached two-car garage leads to outdoor guest parking for six. Beach Road does not have an HOA, and residents appreciate a private beach for dog-walking, access to trails, and close proximity to Dana Point Harbor, luxurious resorts, golf, shopping, dining and award-winning schools.
