A low wall off the back patio separates the 1954 bungalow from the sand and surf
A two-story Dana Point home on the sand linked to “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave recently sold for $4.95 million.
The 1954 bungalow spans 2,738 square feet and sits on an extra-deep lot on Beach Road in guard-gated Capistrano Beach. Under its beamed ceilings are five bedrooms, three bathrooms and dual Nano accordion glass doors that open to a beach-level patio covered by a pergola with a fire pit.
A low wall separates it from the sand and surf beyond.
Records viewed at PropertyShark.com show that on the day the house sold for $3.25 million in December 2014, the reality personality transferred ownership to her second husband, Edwin, the CEO and founder of Skyline Security Management. He then placed ownership into a living trust in February 2016.
In April 2024, the house hit the market for $5.295 million.
The buyers are a Riverside couple working in the medical field. On July 19, records show they bought the beachfront property through an LLC for 7% less than the listed price.
Inside, the open-concept design has been updated. There’s a stone fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling black marble surround and raised hearth, an open dining area and a solarium-style bonus room. The all-white kitchen includes stainless steel GE Monogram appliances, a built-in refrigerator and a waterfall-edge peninsula with seating.
Glass doors open from the primary suite onto a large sun deck.
A two-car garage with driveway parking for three more vehicles adds to the offering.
Doug Echelberger of Inhabit Estate was the listing agent. Vinod Desar of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Realty represented the buyers.
