This architecturally distinctive ocean-view residence is nestled high in the hills above Dana Point Harbor within the sought-after Village at Dana Point, ideally positioned on a quiet, single-loaded cul-de-sac street. One of the home’s most exceptional features is its thoughtfully designed floor plan: the primary suite and all principal living spaces are located on the main entry level, providing the ease and convenience of single-level-style living, while the lower level creates a wonderfully separate retreat for family and guests. Double entry doors open to a grand foyer and the home’s dramatic architecture, showcasing soaring ceilings, exposed architectural beams, geometric ceiling details, skylights, and impressive clerestory & palladium windows, filling the interiors with natural light while capturing ocean views from throughout the main living areas. The expansive formal living room with marble fireplace, adjoining sitting room, and formal dining room with wet bar flow seamlessly together and sliding glass doors open to a spacious ocean-view deck with ample room for outdoor dining, lounging, and enjoying coastal breezes, sunsets, passing sailboats, and a front-row vantage point for Dana Point’s celebrated fireworks display. The gourmet kitchen features a cathedral ceiling, center island, breakfast nook, bay window, and abundant cabinetry, beautifully preserving its original classic design, offering the next owner an opportunity to personalize the home while honoring its remarkable architectural character. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary boasting retreat with marble fireplace, dual mirrored closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom w/atrium-style skylight windows, dual vanities, an oval tub, separate shower, and glass-block accent wall. Downstairs is a large family room w/sliders opening to the fenced backyard, 2 spacious bedrooms, a full bath w/tub/shower combo creating an ideal private wing for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. Additional highlights include hardwood flooring, raised-panel doors, inside laundry room, and exceptional living & entertaining space. Residents of the Village at Dana Point enjoy a community pool, spa & neighborhood park, all just a short stroll from Dana Point Harbor, Doheny State Beach, shopping, dining, recreation, and the best of coastal Orange County living. Peace, tranquility, ocean views, sunsets, and timeless architectural character await at 34142 Capistrano By The Sea.
