Extremely rare Pacific Terrace condo in the heart of Lantern Village and just a short stroll from Dana Point's best amenities. A private gated stairway leads from the condo complex to Lantern Bay Park and from there it's just steps to the sand and sea at Doheny Beach. From perfect summer longboarding waves or paddleboarding on calm mornings, to music and art festivals, being this close to Doheny Beach is the ultimate expression of SoCal beach lifestyle. But it's not just about the beach - local favorites such as Stacks Pancake House, The Rib Joint, and Dana Point Ale House are also nearby. Before going out for the evening, entertain friends in the open concept great room where a large kitchen island faces toward the living and dining rooms. Or, enjoy a vista of trees and rolling hills from the spacious balcony off the living room while sipping margaritas and catching up. Upstairs, there is a large main bedroom with plenty of space for a king bed, convenient indoor laundry machines, and a spacious bathroom with a tub. This condo also includes two covered parking spaces located directly at the front door - no more schlepping groceries from some faraway parking lot. The carport area includes a storage cabinet and freestanding locker for beach gear. Low HOA dues and no Mello-Roos.
