Endless charm and designer flair define this fully renovated 1960s coastal cottage in Dana Point's coveted Palisades community of Capistrano Beach. Reimagined in 2025 by local designer Shannon Vandermeer of Vandermeer Designs, 27085 Calle Dolores offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1,400+ square feet of thoughtfully curated living space. Every detail reflects quality and care, from designer finishes by Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Crate & Barrel to natural Zellige tiles, marble and quartz stone surfaces, and elegant brass fixtures. A storybook first impression begins at the curb with a sprawling front lawn, mature trees, spiral staircase, Willow Blue shutters, and a French-pane front door. Inside, vaulted wood-beam ceilings, luxury vinyl plank floors, and a quartz-surround fireplace with a wood mantel create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The stunning eat-in kitchen blends beauty and functionality with an oversized peninsula island, brand-new antique white Forno appliances, a patina brass faucet, farmhouse sink, and verdant garden views. The ensuite bedroom on the lower level features custom wardrobes, a shiplap accent wall, and direct access to the backyard. Its spa-like bath showcases Moroccan Zellige tile floors, a seamless scallop-tile shower, brass fixtures, and a dual-sink marble-top vanity from Pottery Barn. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer ample closet space, designer lighting, and charming views; one with a private balcony overlooking the backyard and the other with treetop and peek-a-boo ocean vistas. A second designer bathroom impresses with mosaic marble tile floors, custom wallpaper, a freestanding soaking tub, fish-scale tile seamless, walk-in shower, and dual-sink vanity. The backyard is a private retreat with an expansive redwood deck, low-maintenance turf, and a terraced garden with flowering plants and fruit trees. More than $200,000 in brand new upgrades also include new HVAC and ducting, 220 AMP panel, new plumbing, designer lighting, new roof, doors, windows, landscaping, and fencing. Just 1.5 miles to the beach, ocean-view Pines Park, and a three minute walk to retail and grocers such as Sprouts, Nordstrom Rack, and Alta as well as restaurants and local eateries. This home blends timeless character, a convenient location and modern luxury. Welcome home.
