Rare to the market in Dana Point’s ‘best-kept-secret’ neighborhood, Harbor Creek, this ground-level, corner/end unit with 2 bedrooms / 2 full bathrooms is a very coveted & uncommon unit. Desired for its affordability with close proximity to the beach nearby, Harbor Creek is less than a mile to Doheny State Beach & the iconic DP Harbor (currently undergoing a massive revitalization). The beautiful Southern California beaches offer an amazing lifestyle, all easily-accessible - just a short bike ride or walk away down the creek trail from the unit! Water sports at the marina include sailing, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, & world-class surfing for all skill levels at Doheny’s popular surf spots. Central to downtown Dana Point & trendy Lantern District offering several restaurants, shopping, year-round local events including summer concerts & festivals. Upon arrival, a tranquil creek welcomes you at the entry where the private & peaceful unit can be accessed easily near the front of the neighborhood. Inside, an updated & inviting single level space (no steps) draws you inside with a beachy & coastal interior. A slider door off the living room leads to a shady creek-side patio - a relaxing outdoor area. A private and enclosed closet hosts a newer full-sized washer/dryer. The cottage kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counters, open shelving, & shaker cabinetry leads to the dining niche just off the living room creating one large, main living space. Rich walnut-colored laminate floors complete the interior with exception to tile in the bathrooms. Other upgrades include ceiling fans, mirrored closet doors, & newly added heat pump offering AC/heat. A very well-maintained community known for its manicured landscaping, peaceful & meandering creeks, & well-kept community amenities including a security gate for private parking, huge community pool, spa, bathrooms & clubhouse, dog walking areas (pet friendly complex - 30 lb weight limit), and private gate access to Sycamore Creek Park adjacent to the San Juan Creek trail, a straight shot to the beach. The entire Harbor Creek complex has been re-piped - a major upgrade for all homeowners! The HOA covers water, trash, & exterior maintenance for extra-easy homeownership. Your new condo also includes one assigned covered carport with ample guest parking throughout the community. This is a unique opportunity at a 2/2 condo here, very rarely available!
