Breathtaking Pacific Ocean views, unprecedented contemporary architecture that is destined to stand the test of time, and a location without compare elevate this modern custom showplace to the top of Southern California's rarified oceanfront real estate. Welcome to the private realm of 7 Strand Beach Drive at The Strand at Headlands in Dana Point, where a premium oceanfront setting dazzles the heart and soul with unobstructed beach, whitewater, sunset and Catalina Island views that stretch from the dramatic Dana Point Headlands up the coast toward the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Towering three levels over the sand, the residence was completed in 2018 by Brown Brothers Construction using architectural plans from C.J. Light and Associates, with interiors by Fullen Enany Design Group and extraordinary custom lighting from Ron Neal Lighting Design. Traverse a bridge that overlooks a courtyard below to the home's gallery-sized foyer, where high ceilings, views to floors above and below, lofty skylights and immediate ocean views set the scene for impressive living and entertaining. A three-level floating staircase is accentuated by in-wall LED lighting and curvilinear wood and glass detailing, creating a grand focal point on every floor. Approximately 9,630 square feet, the exceptionally open and light design presents six ensuite bedrooms and seven- and one-half baths, including two primary suites and a junior suite on the top level and another junior suite on the bottom floor. Both primary suites offer sunny ocean-view decks and freestanding bathtubs, while the main suite enhances luxury with dual walk-in closets and separate vanities. Large expanses of the residence are primed for entertaining, including a great room, dining room, and a kitchen with a chef's pantry on the main level. The lower level is phenomenal. Enjoy a lounge, wet bar, home theater, and wine room. Disappearing glass pocket doors eliminate boundaries between indoor living areas and outdoor spaces that include a stunning pool with a spa and a sunken open-air fireplace with built-in seating. A commercial grade elevator with window serves all floors, and Crestron smart-home technology, a solar power system, home-scent tech in the HVAC system, and exotic stone and wood finishes lend the home a sophisticated aura that is unrivaled on the coast. The Strand is a private, gate-guarded oceanfront enclave boasting over one mile of coastline, 70 acres of parks, a beach club, and more.
