Located on one of the most sought-after streets in Dana Point, 24543 Santa Clara Ave is a front row, former model home in the meticulously kept Bluffside Villas complex - a small collection of 14 townhomes - just steps from everything Dana Point has to offer. Set back from the street behind a grassy swath & leafy bank of jacarandas, the south-facing 2 bed, 3 bath townhome is blessed with natural light & ocean breezes, is in turnkey condition and is ready for a new owner. A charming red entry door opens onto the Formal Entry that leads to a spacious Living Room & formal Dining Room, both of which share a fireplace and access to the private patio facing Santa Clara. The well-appointed Kitchen and adjoining Breakfast Nook are just off of the Dining Room. The massive Master Bedroom Suite has its own Retreat, private deck and Master Bathroom with walk-in closet with built-ins, skylight (with electronic-controlled shades), an oversized soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities with custom cabinetry. The Retreat is a perfect place for an in-home gym setup, work space or just as a quiet sitting area. The second Bedroom was dubbed a "Second Master" by the builder and has an en suite bathroom. Plantation shutters & custom blinds throughout the home. Attached 2-car garage with lots of storage, 220V outlet and direct access into the home. The home is short stroll from everything - the recently re-imagined (and continuously improving) downtown Lantern District with its chic restaurants, music venues, weekly farmer's market & shopping galore; the nearby blufftop lookout with pathways to the Harbor; the much-loved (and soon-to-be-renovated) Dana Point Harbor and everything it offers - first rate sailing & boating facilities, dining, coastal hikes, Baby Beach, the Dana Point Yacht Club, the Ocean Institute, and the pristine Headlands. For an outdoor enthusiast, it doesn't get much better than living on Santa Clara - world-class surf breaks & beaches are just a 5-minute bike ride away at Doheny, Strands and Salt Creek... there are endless biking opportunities on nearby dedicated trails... beautiful coastal trail hiking at the Headlands... kayaking & stand-up paddleboarding out of the Harbor is a snap... 10 golf courses are within a 10 minute drive... sailing and boating at Dana Point Harbor... Ocean side of PCH... This is coastal living embodied... These townhomes rarely come up for sale, so be sure to see it before it goes.
