Nestled amongst the trees on a hill in the heart of the Lantern District is this terrific DUPLEX, walking distance to all that downtown Dana Point has to offer - restaurants, shopping, banking, groceries, post office, and more. And a nice stretch of the legs to the harbor, with more restaurants and shopping, as well as boating and other water sports, plus swimming, sunning and concerts at Doheny State beach. This centrally located duplex on a 5,663 SQUARE-FOOT LOT has one unit above and one below. Each unit has THREE (3) BEDROOMS and TWO (2) BATHROOMS. Unit B, above, has 1,540 SQUARE FEET with an open plan living, dining and kitchen area, plus a gas (and wood) burning fireplace in the living room. Adding to the ambiance is a spacious front, west-facing, entertaining deck. The living area and the master bedroom also have direct access to a rear, east-facing, wrap-around deck that spans the width of the home. New flooring in the upper unit complete the picture. Unit A, below, has 1,435 SQUARE FEET, also with an open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The living area and master bedroom have direct access to a large private, fenced and gated backyard. Both units are an entertainer's delight with the indoor/outdoor living so beloved in southern California. In addition, each has IN-UNIT, side-by-side washer and dryer hookups. There is also a two-car garage with dividing wall so each unit has its own private one-car garage space. The duplex and the garages are elevated and well set back from the street to allow ample extra parking. The property is a real fixer, but a great opportunity with no Mello Roos and no HOA.
