Exquisitely crafted custom home on the sand at guard-gated Beach Road in Dana Point's Capistrano Beach community. The ocean-view oasis reveals a spacious beach-front patio where large gatherings and impromptu get-togethers are sure to create memories that will last a lifetime. A private side entry showcases a fabulous array of windows and a glass-and-wrought iron door that opens to a double-height foyer and a stunning circular staircase. There are some unique building features of this home and lot that need to be pointed out, it sits almost 7 feet higher than most as the foundation is built on a network of caisons which is critical when built on the beach, the lot is wider than most (which are typically 35 feet wide) with 41 feet of beach front, it has very tall ceilings which are difficult to build now on Beach Road and it has a very large primary closet which is rare on Beach Road. Impeccable millwork, including crown and base moldings, solid-core alder wood interior doors, tumbled-edge travertine tile, 9' and 10' ceilings, mitered windows, elegant lighting, skylights, a security system, dual-zone air-conditioning, and an elevator embellish the residence. Enjoy four bedrooms and four baths in approximately 4,027 square feet that are accompanied by an upstairs office, a sitting room, full service elevator, a family room with a stone fireplace and custom built-in entertainment center, and a three-car garage that can accommodate up to six cars if lifts are used. Chefs will envy an island kitchen with handsome cabinetry, granite countertops, a pro range, and a full suite of stainless-steel appliances including a built-in Scotsman ice maker. One bedroom is located on the main level, with one bath opening to the side of the home for convenient after-beach showers. Upstairs, a secondary bedroom showcases a charming nook with multi-paned windows, and another hosts a built-in window seat. The primary suite opens to an ocean-view balcony and displays an entry space, a walk-in closet with built-ins and a second entrance from the hallway, a soaking tub with bay window, a separate shower, a bidet, dual sinks and a sit-down vanity. A second-floor laundry room offers convenience, ample cabinetry and a utility sink. Properties along Beach Road extend to the median high-tide line and offer residents an excellent location near biking and walking trails, Dana Point Harbor, parks, outstanding schools, high-end resorts, golf, shopping and restaurants.
