Saving the best for last, actor Anthony Edwards’ house opens up to a flat beachside backyard that allow residents and guests to enjoy one of California’s most beautiful coastlines — and revel in “ever-ending sunsets gliding over the Pacific with timeless and irreplaceable scenery,” per the listing.
“An original Doheny, this quintessential Southern California beach house is a once in a lifetime offering due to both its historical significance and expansive 10,000 sqft private lot on the sand,” Justin Alexander says.
“It sits inside the highly coveted gated community of Capistrano beach, central to Dana Point harbor, local private courts, the best shopping destinations in OC and unlimited coastal scenery.“
