This classic oceanfront single-level residence, currently configured as a duplex, on Capistrano Beach’s guard-gated Beach Road in Dana Point presents an outstanding investment opportunity. Each of the single-level units presents a prime beach-front setting with direct access to the sand and panoramic views of Catalina Island, breaking waves, majestic sailboats, sunsets and the coastline up to Dana Point’s dramatic Headlands. With a combined total of approximately 2,106 square feet, both three-bedroom, two-bath floorplans are appointed with high ceilings, tile flooring throughout, interior laundry, and living rooms that open to ocean-view patios. Recently refreshed kitchens with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances shine in kitchens, and upgraded windows and sliding-glass doors, front patios and private side patios are featured. Owner put in a brand new deck and removed the old one and reinforced the deck, adding years of longevity to this home. More than 100' deep, the homesite encompasses more than 6,000 square feet and extends to the median high-tide line on the sand—a rare benefit on the coast in California. Your options are endless - rent both units out, live in one and rent out the other, or with 6,000 square feet of land, build your dream home here. At Beach Road, residents appreciate a one-of-a-kind setting that is convenient to Dana Point’s vibrant Lantern District, an abundance of coastal recreation, shops and restaurants, Dana Point Harbor, coastal trails, San Clemente's historic pier and Laguna Beach. Beach Road encompasses nearly 1.5 miles of private beach and approximately 185 homes.

Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1959, has received recent updates including 'refreshed kitchens with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances,' 'upgraded windows and sliding-glass doors,' and a 'brand new deck.' These improvements prevent it from being classified as 'Poor.' However, the overall aesthetic, particularly the tile flooring throughout and the visible wall-mounted heaters (indicating an older heating system and lack of central AC), along with basic bathroom conditions, suggest that while functional and maintained, many elements are outdated. It requires minor updates to meet current quality standards and modern buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Direct Beachfront & Rare Land Ownership: The property boasts a prime beachfront location with direct sand access, extending to the median high-tide line, a highly rare and valuable feature in California.
Income-Generating Duplex Configuration: Configured as a duplex, it offers exceptional investment flexibility, allowing for rental income from both units or a live-in/rent-out scenario.
Panoramic Ocean Views: Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Catalina Island, breaking waves, sunsets, and the coastline up to Dana Point’s dramatic Headlands from both units.
Recent Structural & Aesthetic Upgrades: Significant recent investments include refreshed kitchens, upgraded windows/sliding doors, and a reinforced, brand-new deck, enhancing longevity and appeal.
Large Developable Homesite: The expansive 6,000+ sqft lot, over 100' deep, provides substantial space and potential for building a custom dream home.

Cons

Original Construction Age (1959): While refreshed, the property's 1959 original build year may imply older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future updates beyond cosmetic improvements.
Absence of Cooling System: The description does not mention an air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a comfort concern during warmer months.
Potential for Beach Activity Noise/Privacy: Direct beach access, while highly desirable, may lead to increased noise and reduced privacy from public beachgoers, especially during peak times.
