The Lehrer Architects-designed beachfront residence of Jim Bellino, former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” has been listed for $9,999,000 by Tim Smith and Jason Wright, agents affiliated with the Newport Beach office of Coldwell Banker Realty. Located at 35381 Beach Rd. in Dana Point, Calif., the approximately 4,800-square-foot residence has five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
“Embracing the apex of coastal luxury living, this modern masterpiece unfolds on the ocean's edge, where the gentle tide becomes an endless backyard oasis,” said Smith. “Showcasing the talents of Lehrer Architects, the one-of-a-kind property offers expansive ocean vistas that stretch from Dana Point Harbor to San Clemente to Catalina. Elevated aesthetics reach their pinnacle in this residence, which epitomizes a lifestyle where every wave whispers the call of luxury.”
Showcasing a masterful design, 16-foot ceilings invite beams of sunlight to cascade through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors that frame the home's rear horizon. Artfully weaving together spaces for optimal entertainment, the open floor plan includes a great room with a dramatic fireplace and an adjoining dining room with a custom wine cooler. Cleverly balancing form and function, the kitchen features a backlit onyx island that accommodates eight state-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances and an ensemble of bright white cabinets adorned with glass and metal accents. On the second level, there is a secondary living room. Crafted to exploit the sweeping ocean views, the office space is highlighted by a glass built-in desk, suspended above the living space.
Commanding the third floor with 180-degree ocean views, the primary suite presents a cozy fireplace, thoughtful built-ins and an opulent bathroom complete with a shower and jetted tub overlooking the ocean. An adjacent walk-in closet offers approximately 250 square feet of customized storage and a breakfast bar. The home's wellness quarters incorporate a gym and a secluded room tailored for massages or a potential sixth bedroom. Limestone flooring on the main floor extends into an exterior entertainment space, elegantly outfitted with a hot tub and unfettered access to the sand.
