35381 Beach RD, Dana Point, CA, 92624

Designed by the acclaimed architectural firm helmed by John Lehrer, FAIA, 35381 Beach Road offers an unprecedented opportunity to own a modern masterpiece in one of West Coast s most coveted guard-gated oceanfront enclaves. Expertly positioned on an approx. 4,738 sq. ft. lot in the highly desirable section of Beach Road, the property was sited with intention to fully capture the views from Dana Point Harbor to Catalina Island and the San Clemente Pier. Spanning approx. 4,800 sq. ft., this home has been updated and thoughtfully expanded by the current owner-designer to include six bedrooms & six bathrooms. Epitomizing the open floorplan concept on a grand scale, the main area features 16 ceilings as well as a wall of full-height glass. The windows and sliding door disappear, allowing for quintessential California alfresco living with the functional limestone flooring extending from the living area to the patio, seamlessly merging the spaces. Anchored by the stately fireplace, the entertaining area flows into the dining section with a 144-bottle temperature-controlled wine cabinet. An underlit onyx-topped island large enough to seat eight is the centerpiece of the adjoining kitchen. Generous in storage, this space abounds in tasteful updates: sleek white cabinetry, Quartzite countertops as well as a slab backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. The oceanfront patio, featuring a rare grandfathered-in hot tub, offers direct beach access via custom stairs with a natural rock landing. An ensuite bedroom completes the ground floor. Behind glass doors on the second level, a private guest wing consists of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a second family room away from the ocean intended for soundproof entertaining or movie nights. The loft-like beachview office on this floor was designed by the architect around the 20 built-in glass desk, a centerpiece of the space. A luxurious yet relaxing owner s level spans the entire top floor: the fully remodeled ocean-facing primary bedroom offers a large balcony as well as a fireplace, making it the perfect space for enjoying ocean vistas year-round. In the spa-like bathroom, views of the waves can be savored from both, a grand walk-in shower, and the jetted tub. A sizable walk-in closet and coffee bar complete the primary suite. Located past the closet are the gym, a massage room/bedroom, and a full bath. Parking for eight cars, automated shades, & outdoor storage round off the list of amenities.
