Dana Point, CA 92624

Built in 1929, this rare historic Doheny home in Dana Point’s sought-after Capistrano Beach enclave has been carefully preserved and upgraded for modern living. With few owners over the years, the home has fortunately retained its original details and character. Time seems to stand still here—imagine the stories shared around the grand fireplace, cherished gatherings, and the generations who have called this place home. Just beyond the front door is beloved Pines Park, offering stunning ocean views. Set on a rare double lot of approximately 8,481 SF, the Spanish Colonial Revival hacienda, enclosed by a low wall and inviting entry gate, is nestled in a tranquil setting of native plantings, pebble pathways, towering olive trees, serene sitting and dining spaces, and custom fountains. The indoor/outdoor living spaces flow together to create an ideal setting for both luxurious living and entertaining. Guests can follow winding garden paths to their own private casita primary suite. Brimming with upscale Spanish villa details, the main house lives like a one-level design, with two bedrooms and one-and-a-half-baths on the first floor, the second floor reserved exclusively for a primary suite. The great room, with its stunning vaulted open-beam ceiling, boasts an original wood floor, four sets of French doors opening to the front gardens, a fireplace, and a formal dining room. Ceiling beams continue in the family room, which flows to a casual dining area that opens up to a flourishing back garden through a wall of French doors. The kitchen reflects the home’s heritage through a colorful tile backsplash and white cabinetry with glass uppers, while on-trend appointments include a farm sink, quartz countertops, a double-wide built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a six-burner Viking range with a stainless steel hood. Upstairs, the primary suite’s deck offers ocean views set to the soothing soundtrack of the surf, along with a private bath, sitting area, and walk-in closet. Overlooking a backyard sanctuary complete with custom fireplace and sitting and dining areas, guests will appreciate a fully permitted detached casita of approximately 422 SF, complete with vaulted ceilings, full-bath, and separate dressing room. Close to Doheny Beach and Dana Point Harbor, the home benefits from Mills Act and historic registry tax advantages and is a highlight of the Dana Point Historic Society’s annual home tour. Low annual property taxes of appx. $7,200 (2024).
