Modern 2 BR home. Pet friendly. Walk to town, beaches, harbor LOCATION: Nestled on a quiet canyon street in the historic Dana Point Lantern District, this single-family home is just several blocks from the Pacific Coast Highway and the walkable Town Center bustling with many restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, gyms and fitness studios, surf and dive stores, weekly farmer’s market, and other popular local shops. It’s less than a mile to the harbor and just over a mile to several beautiful beaches (Doheny State Beach, Dana Strands Beach, and Salt Creek Beach) renowned for sunbathing, surfing and other water sports. Salt Creek is home to the Ritz Carlton, and other 5-star resorts within a couple of miles include the Waldorf Astoria, Monarch Beach, Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa, and the Montage Laguna Beach. It’s also adjacent to the beach communities of Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente. 4 minute drive to the ocean 5 minute drive to the Waldorf Astoria (Great for breakfast and massages!) 7 minute drive to the Ritz Carlton (Great for sunset drinks or a coffee along your walk) THE HOME: This architectural home was designed and constructed using industrial and eco-friendly materials such as 15-feet-deep caissons, cantilevered steel beams, board-form-finished concrete pillars and beams, hand-built stone and masonry walls, reclaimed wood, and repurposed shipping containers. There are exposed beams and ductwork throughout. It’s fully furnished, two stories and 1,600 square feet with two bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, an outdoor shower, a surfboard rack, and a garage finished as a bonus room. There is a central, high-capacity heating and air conditioning system, plus the sea breezes and stone walls keep the house cool and comfortable naturally. The home is highly earthquake resistant and is not in a fire hazard zone. The home’s design and construction process were covered multiple times in the local newspaper, the Dana Point Times. BEDROOMS: The front bedroom has a king-size Avocado Organic mattress with an adjustable base that has modes for reading, zero gravity mode and anti-snore. It also has a shake function that rocks you to sleep. There are windows on three sides for daytime light, blackouts shades for nighttime sleep, and a patio overlooking the street. The rear bedroom has a full-size bed, motorized sitting/standing desk with monitor (and printer in garage), dresser, television and patio with a French bistro table overlooking the lush hillside behind the home. There is also a full-size Murphy bed in the garage that we can add a mattress for if you would like to use it during your stay. The garage is fully finished and air conditioned. BATHROOMS: The full bathroom on the second floor with the bedrooms has a sink, large vanity with ample storage, a toilet and a new walk-in shower. The half bathroom on the lower floor has a sink, vanity and toilet. An outdoor shower with dual shower heads above and for your feet provides a luxurious way to freshen up after a day at the beach. KITCHEN & OUTDOOR LIVING: The ground floor provides a seamless indoor/outdoor space with multiple cooking, eating and seating areas. The kitchen has custom Italian cabinets, quartz countertops, reclaimed French limestone floors, new appliances, and a 72-bottle wine refrigerator. For eating, there are three stools along the peninsula and a 2-person dining table. The kitchen opens to the front and side patio areas via a bifold La Cantina door, a front Dutch door, and a pass-through flip out window with an Italian travertine serving countertop. The Bison pedestal deck is made of Brazilian hardwood and includes a sofa, coffee table, swing chair, standing counter with sun umbrella,gas grill, water feature, and native California drought-tolerant landscaping that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. There’s a Vegepod raised planter for growing your own herbs and vegetables. In the back is a private patio area with a bench, fire table, Infratek overhead electric heaters, television and Sonos speakers.

The dining area has a 6-person dining table, and the living area has a sitting area, 75” Sony television and Sonos speakers. There is porcelain tile plank flooring, and reclaimed beams and wood accent wall add character and warmth. GARAGE OR BONUS ROOM: The garage has been finished with polished concrete floors, heating and air conditioning, a side-sliding garage door, and a secret man door. It can be used as a 1-car garage (very tight fit for our Tesla Model Y SUV) with a Tesla Wall Connector level 2 charger or utilized as a guest bedroom (with its Murphy bed) if you let us know in advance so we can add a mattress. You can also switch back and forth, e.g., use the Murphy bed to host guests for the weekend and then go back to parking a car in it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this unique home near the Lantern District of Dana Point. The home had everything we needed- well appointed kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and lovely dining room and living room. I especially loved hanging out on the front porch. We walked into town daily for coffee or a meal. Close to beautiful walking/bike trails. The host, Jay was super responsive and accommodating! I’d definitely recommend this property! ##### Ellen P.
