24642 Santa Clara Avenue

A landmark estate on the highly coveted Santa Clara Avenue in the heart of Dana Point’s iconic Lantern District, this Italian-inspired villa is a true masterpiece. Designed by Giovanni Miscione and inspired by the coastal charm of the village of Agnone, Italy, Villa della Famiglia captures the essence of old-world character while embracing the luxuries of modern living. Every detail has a story to tell. The rugged stone exterior, handcrafted ironwork, and rich wood accents give the home a sense of permanence and soul. Step through the towering entrance and you’re met with soaring ceilings and dramatic lighting that set the tone for a home that transcends trends and endures through generations. At its heart, the gourmet kitchen is designed for both elegance and utility. A grand island and farmhouse sink anchor the space, while a professional-grade Wolf gas range and Sub-Zero refrigerator make entertaining effortless. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the formal dining area and family gathering space, where a cozy fireplace invites conversation and connection. Two primary ensuites on the main level offer comfort and privacy, each with walk-in closets. One includes a roll-in shower for easy accessibility, and the other opens directly to the patio for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each enjoy private balconies that catch the ocean breeze, while a versatile bonus room can flex to your lifestyle - a home office, media lounge, or quiet retreat. Outside, the home feels like its own private sanctuary. Gather around the stone fireplace for alfresco dinners, relax on the lawn, or simply breathe in the ocean air that drifts through this harbor-adjacent haven. Every inch is designed to be lived in and loved. Even the garage is show-stopping. With open beam ceilings, warm wood tones, artisan barn-style double doors, and a display worthy tool workstation, it’s as beautiful as it is functional. The home also features an intuitive whole-home smart system, giving you effortless control of climate, lighting, security, and sound. Just steps from Dana Point Harbor, fine dining, and pristine beaches, this villa offers more than a place to live - it’s a lifestyle investment. Few homes on Santa Clara Avenue offer such craftsmanship, location, and timeless design. It’s not simply a home; Villa della Famiglia is a legacy, crafted to be cherished for generations.
