Located in the vibrant heart of Dana Point’s desirable Lantern District, this newly updated coastal cottage offers a light and airy ambiance. Indoor/outdoor living is generously accommodated with a spacious homesite of nearly 4,000 square feet that reveals a private front terrace over a two-car garage, and a large backyard with two patios and lifelike turf. A gorgeous shade tree enhances the space, which also includes a detached 120-square-foot unit that makes a great studio or office. Featuring two bedrooms and one bath in an open and bright single-level floorplan, the main house was built in 1946 and is bathed in natural light. Enjoy a living room with wood-burning brick fireplace, and a dining room that opens to the backyard via two French doors. Gather with friends for mealtime prep in a fully appointed kitchen with updated quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient pass-thru to the dining room. New interior and exterior paint complements the home, and white paneled walls, wainscoting, and white oak-style luxury vinyl plank flooring are featured. Further enrichments include indoor laundry, a new water heater, new 200-amp electrical panel, and PEX piping. Approximately one mile from Dana Point Harbor, where an extensive revitalization is currently underway, this turnkey cottage is just a short stroll to the Lantern Bay District where you will find a variety of shops and restaurants. The coastal lifestyle you desire has arrived, and it’s more attainable than you ever dreamed.
