COMING SOON | Lantern Village, Dana Point High above the Pacific in one of Dana Point’s most treasured neighborhoods, this California Contemporary captures the spirit of coastal living—equal parts history, heart, and horizon. Long before Dana Point became known as the whale-watching capital of the world, Richard Henry Dana Jr. Wrote of this coastline with reverence. Lantern Village still reflects that original romance: wide front yards, no sidewalks, longtime owners, and a sense of place that feels quietly confident and deeply rooted. Designed with an upside-down floor plan to elevate the views, the home opens to sunsets, Catalina Island, peek-ocean glimpses toward the Headlands, and sweeping coastal outlooks to the south. Palms frame the scene; light moves through the day; the ocean is never far from view—or thought. At the heart of the home, a full wall, floor-to-ceiling bookshelf with a rolling ladder sets the tone. It invites readers, collectors, memory-keepers, and families—people who love where they live and live where they love. This is a house that believes life begins at home. Spiral staircase, vaulted ceilings, Saltillo tile, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Three bedrooms on the main level, each with outdoor access. Decks designed for everyday meals, lingering conversations, and the kind of moments that turn into traditions. Chosen years ago by Los Angeles dreamers seeking their perfect beach house, this Lantern Village offering is soulful, elevated, and unmistakably cool. Prepare to be enchanted.
