44 Ritz Cove Drive

Breathtaking Ocean views, dramatic sunsets, and white water crashing over the iconic Monarch Point, this stunning custom home has recently been transformed into a virtually brand-new masterpiece on the 2nd row of Dana Point’s beachfront guard-gated Ritz Cove. Stripped down to the studs and reimagined during an extensive remodel by renowned architect Corey R. Solum of Think Architecture, four luxurious bedrooms and three-and-one-half baths are revealed in approximately 4,745 SF of light-filled interiors which feature durable white oak hardwood flooring. A custom 18’ Hubard iron glass pivot door opens into an impressive foyer that sets the scene for sophisticated contemporary living. Bespoke finishes and materials capture the eye upon arrival and enrich an open main level that hosts a formal living room or game room with coffered ceiling, a large dining room, and a great room with custom built-ins, brick masonry fireplace, 7.1 surround sound, and a cocktail bar with under-counter Sub-Zero refrigerator. The great room continues seamlessly to a magnificent new kitchen with massive eat-in island, open shelving, high-end custom cabinetry, a vaulted white oak ceiling, oversized butler’s pantry, Wolf, Cove, and Sub-Zero appliances, Scotsman pebble ice maker, and rare leathered Taj Mahal quartzite countertops. This level of the residence opens via 8' glass La Cantina accordion and pocket doors to an all-new backyard with a built-in firepit, resort pool, and elevated infinity edge spa controlled by the PentAir app. Glass railings and LED lighting enrich a staircase that leads upstairs, where three secondary bedrooms include two that open to a balcony. A fireplace-warmed primary suite boasts a boutique-style walk-in closet showcasing a stacked washer and dryer set, and a bath with a custom freestanding tub, separate multi-head commercial-grade steam shower, TOTO Neorest smart toilet, separate porcelain bidet, and limestone-topped individual vanities. Additional highlights include a separate laundry room on the lower level with new LG washer and dryer, all new PEX piping, Smart Home Lutron lighting for complete app-based control of every fixture, and brand-new HVAC systems, and large two-car garage with epoxy flooring. Situated between The Ritz-Carlton and Waldorf Astoria’s oceanfront links golf course, Ritz Cove’s premier location is steps to Salt Creek Beach, and moments from shopping, fine dining, Laguna Beach, and Dana Point Harbor.
