Property is new construction or fully renovated.
This property underwent a comprehensive designer renovation in 2025, placing it in mint condition. All major systems are brand new, including HVAC, ducting, a 220 AMP electrical panel, plumbing, and the roof. The kitchen and bathrooms feature high-end designer finishes and new appliances, requiring zero maintenance.
The property features over $350,000 in high-end upgrades led by Vandermeer Designs, including new HVAC, plumbing, roof, and premium finishes like Zellige tiles and marble, offering a completely turn-key luxury experience.
Situated in the coveted Palisades community, the home is just 1.5 miles from the beach and within a three-minute walk to major retail hubs like Sprouts and Nordstrom Rack, perfectly blending coastal leisure with urban convenience.
The interior boasts sophisticated design elements such as vaulted wood-beam ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a quartz-surround fireplace, creating a warm and stylish 'coastal cottage' aesthetic.
With just over 1,400 square feet of living area, the home may feel restrictive for larger families or buyers seeking expansive indoor proportions at this price point.
The 4,000 square foot lot is relatively modest, which limits outdoor expansion potential and may result in less privacy compared to larger neighboring parcels.
Endless charm and designer flair define this fully renovated coastal cottage in Dana Point's coveted Palisades community of Capistrano Beach. Reimagined in 2025 by local designer Shannon Vandermeer of Vandermeer Designs, 27085 Calle Dolores offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1,400+ square feet of thoughtfully curated living space. Every detail reflects quality and care, from designer finishes by Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Crate & Barrel to natural Zellige tiles, marble and quartz stone surfaces, and elegant brass fixtures. A storybook first impression begins at the curb with a sprawling front lawn, mature trees, spiral staircase, Willow Blue shutters, and a French-pane front door. Inside, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, luxury vinyl plank floors, and a quartz-surround fireplace with a wood mantel create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The stunning eat-in kitchen blends beauty and functionality with an oversized peninsula island, brand-new antique white Forno appliances, a patina brass faucet, farmhouse sink, and verdant garden views. The ensuite bedroom on the lower level features custom wardrobes, a shiplap accent wall, and direct access to the backyard. Its spa-like bath showcases Moroccan Zellige tile floors, a seamless scallop-tile shower, brass fixtures, and a dual-sink marble-top vanity from Pottery Barn. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer ample closet space, designer lighting, and charming views; one with a private balcony overlooking the backyard and the other with treetop and peek-a-boo ocean vistas. A second designer bathroom impresses with mosaic marble tile floors, custom wallpaper, a freestanding soaking tub, fish-scale tile seamless, walk-in shower, and dual-sink vanity. The backyard is a private retreat with an expansive redwood deck, low-maintenance turf, and a terraced garden with flowering plants and fruit trees. More than $350,000 in upgrades also include new HVAC and ducting, 220 AMP panel, new plumbing, designer lighting, new roof, doors, windows, landscaping, and fencing. Just 1.5 miles to the beach, ocean-view Pines Park, and a three minute walk to retail and grocers such as Sprouts, Nordstrom Rack, and Alta as well as restaurants and local eateries. This home blends timeless character, a convenient location and modern luxury. Welcome home.
