24444 Alta Vista Drive, Number 19. Dana Point, California.
Three bedrooms. Three full baths. Two fireplaces. A full-length balcony walking the property from end to end, and walls of glass that refuse to stop at the room's edge. Built in 1984 by architect Mark Singer. Quietly reimagined for today.
Nine rooms below. Open the set to walk the balcony, the primary suite, the bath.
“Walls of glass frame the Pacific. Natural light fills the interior. The living areas do not end at the wall, they continue out over the water.”
Architect Mark Singer designed this coastal residence in 1984 on a simple premise. The Pacific is the room. The walls are glass. Every line inside the house bends toward the horizon, and the white-water panorama, sunrise to sunset, is the constant.
A recent remodel preserved the architecture and refined its interior. The chef's kitchen now features premium appliances, custom cabinetry, and Italian marble counters that run uninterrupted to a breakfast bar open to the dining and living rooms. A glistening fireplace anchors the main level.
The primary suite has its own fireplace and opens directly to the full-length balcony. Its spa-inspired bath carries the Italian marble through to a jetted tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms with full baths handle guests or a home office without compromise.
Residents of Dana By The Sea share a community pool and spa, a gated entry, and the short walk to Dana Point's newly renovated town center, harbor, beaches, and coastal trails.
A name associated with Dana Point's most architecturally distinctive hillside homes. A practice that treats the view as a structural element.
Full-length, ocean-facing.
Warmth, twice over. The main-floor hearth anchors the common rooms; the bedroom's is the quieter twin.
The surface detail that carries the remodel from room to room. A single material discipline, executed twice. From the breakfast bar, uninterrupted, through the corridor, into the jetted tub and the glass-enclosed shower of the primary bath.
Panoramic white-water views. Coastline, ocean, city lights after dark. The kind of view that changes the color of the rooms four times a day.
Mark Singer's architectural thesis. Glass where other buildings use wall. Light where other buildings use paint. A thin membrane between the interior and the weather.
Premium appliances. Custom cabinetry. Italian marble counters. A breakfast bar that opens directly to the living and dining rooms, which is to say, directly to the horizon.
A romantic fireplace. A direct opening to the balcony. A spa-inspired bath with a jetted tub, glass-enclosed shower, and a generous walk-in closet. The word retreat, earned.
Gated entry. Community pool and spa. Walking distance to Dana Point's renovated town center, the harbor, the coastal trails, and the beach. A life with the car parked.
Adjust the numbers that matter. Your monthly payment, excluding taxes, HOA, and insurance, updates as you move.
A hillside address on the ocean side of the freeway, inside the gated Dana By The Sea community. From the front door, the entire town is on foot.
The newly renovated Lantern District town center is a short walk away. Dana Point Harbor, the beach, and the coastal trail are each within reach of a morning. Restaurants and shops sit along the lantern-lit streets. Monarch Beach, Salt Creek, and Laguna Beach are minutes by car.
Share your details. Marilyn Ryder with Seven Gables Real Estate will reach out to arrange a quiet, private viewing of the residence.
