33052 Santiago Drive, Dana Point, CA 92629

Description

Beyond the hand-carved mahogany front door lies a home designed around the Southern California lifestyle buyers dream about but rarely find. Completely rebuilt down to the studs in 2018 and offering the largest floor plan in the coveted Sea Canyon community, this exceptional Dana Point residence blends sophisticated design with effortless coastal living just moments from Sea Canyon Park, Doheny Beach, and Dana Point Harbor. A dramatic curved staircase sets the tone upon entry, while French oak floors and an open-concept design create a warm yet refined atmosphere throughout. The chef's kitchen, appointed with GE Monogram appliances, flows seamlessly into expansive living and dining spaces anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling ledgestone fireplace and elegant dry bar with wine refrigerator. Designed for both everyday comfort and unforgettable entertaining, the home opens through spectacular 16-foot AG Millworks folding glass doors, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out and creating the true California indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The backyard feels more like a private resort than a neighborhood home. A custom-built 9-foot gas fireplace anchors evenings under the stars, while Italian white porcelain tile with striking black borders defines multiple entertaining spaces. An Apollo motorized louvered pergola with rain-sensing auto-close technology provides year-round comfort, while the Sun Home infrared sauna with red light therapy and chromotherapy creates a private wellness retreat just steps from your door. Two spacious primary suites offer exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or multi-generational living. Modern privacy gates, professionally redesigned landscaping, and a beautifully reimagined driveway finished with gray Belgard pavers and contrasting soldier-course borders complete the home's extensive list of improvements. Imagine morning walks through Sea Canyon Park, afternoons at Doheny Beach, sunset dinners overlooking the harbor, and evenings gathered around the fire with friends and family. This is more than a home—it is the Dana Point lifestyle at its very best.
