Rare opportunity to own property in Orange County LESS THAN 1,000 STEPS TO THE BEACH for under a million dollars!! Welcome to Niguel Beach Terrace at Strand Beach in beautiful Dana Point. Right across from Strand Vista Park, this charming 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condominium is an eight minute walk from door to sand at Dana Strands Beach! This private upstairs unit is nestled in the corner amongst trees and greenery with a unique patio view, not of the neighbors, but of a secluded green space framed in by floral landscaping. When you walk inside you will be cheered by the natural light that floods in through the glass doors of the patio, accessible from both the living room and bedroom. The vaulted ceilings create an open, spacious sensation and the floor layout maximizes the utility of the 701 square feet with a good size living room, a dining area, and a roomy, remodeled kitchen. Enjoy hosting and cooking in this delightful kitchen with plenty of counter space, updated cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The generous sized bedroom has two separate mirrored closets. The bathtub/shower and commode are separated from the sink and marble vanity area offering extra privacy. The newer wood laminate flooring adds beauty throughout, along with the newer neutral toned paint and recessed lighting. Additional amenities include a separate, enclosed laundry room on the patio, central heating, a designated parking spot, and access to community features such as a pool, spa, picnic areas, and clubhouse. The property is within short walking distance to nearby trails connecting to Salt Creek Beach and the Headlands Conservation Area. Dont forget the value that the $600M harbor revitalization project will soon have on the appreciation of this condo, bringing in a new marina, luxury hotels, and world class shopping and dining less than 2 miles away! These highly coveted Niguel Beach Terrace condominiums become available very infrequently, so seize the opportunity! It may be years before another comes on the market.
