Achieving the pinnacle of luxury is no easy feat, yet it comes naturally at this gorgeous custom estate behind the guarded gates and fountains of Dana Point’s beachfront Ritz Cove collection. Completely remodeled to include today’s most sought-after appointments, finishes and fixtures, the multi-level villa reveals postcard-perfect sunset, Catalina Island, and whitewater Pacific Ocean views that enrich indoor and outdoor living areas. From a rooftop deck, where entertaining is complemented by a built-in BBQ bar with ice maker and Hestan refrigerator, panoramic views embrace southern Orange County’s rolling hills, dramatic coastline and shimmering evening lights. Natural light illuminates interior spaces as well, including a phenomenal rotunda-style foyer with double-height ceiling, sparkling chandelier, clerestory windows and a circular staircase leading to upper and lower floors. A formal living room displays an elegant fireplace and French doors opening to a front terrace, and limestone and wood floors are featured throughout. Memorable moments with friends and family are destined to be shared in the great room, where French doors lead to the backyard, a linear fireplace is framed by exotic stone, and a wet bar features a double-waterfall island, open shelving, an ice maker and under-counter Sub-Zero refrigerator. A few steps above the great room, the dining room flows effortlessly to an open kitchen with massive island, circular breakfast nook and 328-bottle wine wall. Premium appliances include a Wolf range with pot filler, cabinet-matched Sub-Zero refrigerator, two Miele dishwashers, and a built-in Miele coffee station. Generously proportioned at approximately 7,800 square feet, the sublime residence hosts an elevator to all levels, four ensuite bedrooms including one on the main level, five- and one-half baths, and a fireplace-warmed executive office with wood paneling and coffered ceiling. The lower level reveals a subterranean garage for five or six vehicles, a gym with built-in refrigerator, and a circular bonus room that is perfect as a media lounge, wine room or massage studio. Upstairs, the primary suite rivals the neighboring Ritz-Carlton resort, offering a barrel ceiling, bar, two balconies, and a boutique-style walk-in closet. Limestone walls and surrounds enhance the bath, which boasts a freestanding tub, dual-access rain shower, two sinks and a domed ceiling. Outdoors, a resort-style pool & spa with Baja shelf are featured in the backyard.
