Bright and modern, classic and charming, this one-of-a-kind oceanfront home on Capo Beach’s guard-gated Beach Road in Dana Point tells one story on the outside and another indoors. Enriched by breathtaking ocean, beach, whitewater, Catalina Island and coastline views, the residence exudes quintessential beach-cottage style with a shingled exterior and an inviting Dutch entry door. Inside, views flow directly through a completely reimagined and rebuilt interior that complements indoor/outdoor living with a disappearing wall of La Cantina glass doors. Exceptionally private, the main-level deck is larger than most in the community and features an extended concrete-framed open-air fireplace. Wood-look tile flooring continues from the deck into the home’s open-concept living area, which includes a great room with automatic roller shades, a dining room, and a custom chef’s kitchen with an island, breakfast bar, white cabinetry, quartz countertops and a pantry. Ideal for fun-filled get-togethers and simple evenings at home, the kitchen shines with a pro-sized range, a Dacor drawer microwave and a double-wide built-in fridge. Beyond the kitchen awaits a versatile game room that can easily be used as a 4th sleeping area or a home office. An attached two-car garage features epoxy flooring, built-in cabinets and utility sink, and the property can accommodate parking for 5 vehicles. This property boasts a truly exceptional private beach that reaches up to the median high tide line, providing a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The residence is designed on two levels, with 3 ensuite bedrooms already in place and the potential to effortlessly incorporate a fourth private sleeping area. Both secondary bedrooms are located on the first floor, with one featuring built-in bunk beds. The second floor is home to a primary suite with a balcony that offers spectacular 180° views, a sitting area with wet bar, and a luxurious tile-finished bath featuring a jetted tub and separate shower. Skylights and high ceilings reenforce the home’s bright and open feel, and custom tilework, whole-house audio, heated floors in every bath, and a powder room with backlit stone lend an upscale contemporary vibe. Residents of Beach Road are close to Dana Point’s popular Lantern District, Dana Point Harbor, coastal trails, San Clemente's historic pier and Laguna Beach. HOA dues are under $100 per month at Beach Road, which encompasses nearly 1.5 miles of private beach and approximately 185 homes.

2 Bedrooms on the Beach!! Huge two level private deck, wide open floor plan, a game room and attached garage make this the perfect layout for that great ocean front property of your dreams.
