If you’re looking for a home with a serious ocean view, this is one you need to see. Set on a short, single-loaded street on The Hill, the property looks out across the Pacific, Catalina Island, Dana Point Harbor, the surrounding hills, and all the way toward Saddleback Mountain. The amount of width and depth in the view is what really stands out, and because of the long slope below the property, the rooftops below almost disappear from sight. The floor plan is versatile, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level, including a downstairs primary option and a guest room with a smooth stucco fireplace that could easily work as an office. The main living area is open, bright, and built around the view, with large picture windows bringing the ocean into sight the moment you walk through the front door. The kitchen has custom shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, open shelving, a ZLINE six-burner range, stainless steel hood, counter-depth refrigerator, and a large waterfall-edge island. One of my favorite features is the stacking pocket door connecting the living room to the backyard. Instead of folding against the side like a typical bifold door, the panels disappear into the wall, leaving the entire opening clear and allowing the living space to flow directly outside. The backyard is where this property really separates itself. The sellers added a massive view deck that extends out over the slope and dramatically increases the amount of usable outdoor space. With glass railing around the perimeter, there’s very little between you and the view. Building a deck like this takes a considerable amount of engineering, permitting, time, and expense, and all of that work has already been done. Upstairs, the primary suite takes the view to another level. The room has vaulted ceilings, windows wrapping toward the corner of the home, and its own outdoor space. From here, the ocean view gets even deeper. The primary bathroom includes dual vanities, a separate water closet, a large frameless-glass shower, and a walk-in closet with built-ins. The home also has a newer roof, newer electrical panel, air conditioning, and remote-controlled shades and window treatments. There are homes higher up on The Hill, but you don’t need to be at the very top to get a dramatic view. Between the elevation, the long slope below the property, the single-loaded street, and the amount of outdoor space, this one checks so many important boxes that are difficult to duplicate.
