Rare Opportunity to own a piece of Dana Point's history with this 1920s S.H. Woodruff Ocean View Home. Featured on the Cover of Dana Point's 7th Annual Historical Home Tour, "La Casa Encantada" is one of the limited original Sidney Woodruff residences from the same era the visionary developer gave us Hollywoodland and the iconic Hollywood sign. This thoughtfully updated two-bedroom, two-bath Spanish Colonial Revival blends authentic early California craftsmanship with modern coastal living. This single level home is currently designated under the Mills Act Contract providing Substantial Property Tax Savings. The home showcases classic Woodruff detailing, period architecture and original character, featuring hand trowelled stucco, a red clay barrel roof, custom carved wood beamed ceilings and arched openings throughout the home. The beautifully renovated kitchen has expanded the living space, creating a brighter, more open floor plan leading to a generously expanded deck. The seamless indoor-outdoor flow provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining or an evening with friends while enjoying coastal breezes and sunsets over the ocean. The property also comes with a 219 sqft unpermitted pied-a-terre or flex space with a kitchenette and 3/4 bath positioned below the residence next to the 2 garages. Located in one of Dana Point's most desirable areas, the Lantern Village, this historic residence offers the perfect balance of preserved soul and contemporary comfort, just moments from downtown dining, the beaches, and the soon to be revitalized harbor.
