With captivating contemporary architecture, striking interior design and panoramic ocean, Catalina Island and coastline views, this magnificently modern custom home is without compare. Located just steps from the sand in Dana Point’s exclusive guard-gated Ritz Cove collection, the luxurious residence takes full advantage of its beach-close setting by offering seamless indoor/outdoor living that blends walls of automated glass pocket doors with an open-concept floorplan. Natural stone and wood details embellish an exterior that stands apart from adjacent homes while complementing the neighborhood’s prestigious aesthetic. Approximately 6,250 square feet, the generous two-level design reveals a formal entry with views through the backyard, a custom elevator to the rooftop deck, and an atrium-style double-height foyer with a dramatic staircase and seamless access to a fireplace-warmed lounge and seating area with side-yard fountain. Disappearing walls of glass open the rear of the home to the backyard and welcome light into a family room with fireplace, large dining room, a stunning wine wall with backlit onyx, and an open chef’s kitchen that rivals those found in architectural magazines. An island with dual-waterfall edges is joined by custom wood cabinetry in two distinct finishes, polished stone countertops, and top-tier stainless steel appliances including a six-burner Wolf range with griddle and two ovens. Convenience is enhanced by a hidden prep kitchen with cooktop, second refrigerator and abundant storage. Four ensuite bedrooms with walk-in closets and five- and one-half baths ensure comfort and privacy for residents and guests, while a main-level office opens to a sunny front patio and could become a fifth bedroom. Everyone will enjoy a second-floor gym and massage room, each featuring a soothing interior waterfall. For movie night, the gym easily becomes a home theater, complete with a state-of-the-art Denon AV receiver and surround sound. Escape to an ocean-view paradise in the primary suite, which showcases a covered full-width balcony, sitting area with fireplace, and custom closets. Gold fixtures shine in the primary bath, harmonizing with a freestanding tub, two floating vanities, and an oversized shower with custom built-in body-conforming lounger. Solar power, whole-house indoor/outdoor Sonos audio, and a two-car garage with two EV outlets are included, and the backyard boasts a resort-style pool, spa, and built-in BBQ.
