More Insights

Built in 1963 (62 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1963, this property underwent a complete 'down to the studs' renovation in 2015. This extensive renovation, 9 years ago, means all interior components and major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are virtually new and meet current quality standards. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and contemporary wood cabinetry. Bathrooms are spa-inspired with modern vanities, fixtures, and tiling. Throughout the home, there is porcelain tile flooring, recessed lighting, and custom built-ins, all in excellent condition with no visible wear or deferred maintenance. The property's condition aligns with a recently renovated home, offering modern sophistication and high-end finishes.

About this home

Perched above one of Southern California’s most coveted stretches of coastline, this exceptional two-bedroom, two-bath residence commands an unrivaled setting along the bluffs of Dana Strand Road. Just steps from Strands Beach and bordering The Strand at Headlands, Dana Point’s premier oceanfront enclave, the home offers sweeping, unobstructed 180-degree views that encompass Catalina Island, Palos Verdes, dramatic white-water coastline, rolling hills, city lights, and even Saddleback Mountain in the distance. Completely reimagined and taken down to the studs in 2015, this top-floor condominium blends timeless craftsmanship with modern sophistication. Inside, soaring cedar ceilings crown an open-concept layout where living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly. Expansive glass doors frame endless ocean vistas and open to a private balcony with sleek glass railings, creating a perfect setting for enjoying sunsets, sea breezes, and the soothing sound of waves. The primary suite is a serene retreat, appointed with custom built-ins, a dedicated work space, and a spa-inspired bath. Its private balcony, finished with limestone flooring and a pergola, captures tranquil views of the coastal reserve and glittering city lights. Throughout, the home showcases refined finishes including porcelain tile flooring, recessed lighting, solid-core doors, insulated walls, and a striking stone fireplace that anchors the living space. Additional highlights include skylights, a tankless water heater, an upgraded furnace, and the convenience of both a private garage and driveway parking. Beyond the home itself, the location is unparalleled. Elevated above more than a mile and a half of protected shoreline and 70 acres of preserved natural space, residents enjoy direct access to scenic parks, coastal trails, and Dana Point’s vibrant lifestyle. World-class golf, luxury resorts, fine dining, yachting, and entertainment are just minutes away—yet at home, each day feels like a private coastal sanctuary where the beauty of the sea is always at your doorstep. As an added bonus, the property boasts a strong rental track record with stellar VRBO reviews (Surf View) and is poised to benefit from the upcoming Dana Point Harbor revitalization.
