More Insights

Built in 1988 (38 years old).
Condition: Built in 1988, this home has undergone significant and elegant updates, as evidenced by the modern kitchen with industrial-style stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and abundant cabinetry. The bathrooms are also well-appointed with updated vanities, stone tiling, modern fixtures, and features like a jetted tub and walk-in shower. The living areas feature neutral stone floors, recessed lighting, and a contemporary aesthetic. While the original construction date is over 20 years ago, the extensive cosmetic renovations appear to be within the last 5-15 years, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. The only factor preventing an 'Excellent' score is the lack of explicit information regarding updates to major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which are noted as a potential consideration due to the home's age.

The Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach sits directly across the street, offering an ideal setting for social gatherings, business meetings, or casual evenings with friends. Nearby, the Ritz-Carlton and Montage provide exceptional dining and entertainment.

Set within beautifully manicured grounds, this elegantly updated home features three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and an enclosed loft, creating flexible and generous living spaces. A private wood and wrought-iron gate opens to wraparound landscaping, a spacious yard, and a charming brick-covered porch with double-door entry. Inside, the foyer leads to a light-filled living room with soaring ceilings, recessed lighting, neutral stone floors, and a gas fireplace finished in cream stone with a mahogany floating hearth. The living room flows seamlessly into the formal dining area, highlighted by a modern chandelier and clerestory windows. The kitchen is appointed with stone countertops, abundant cabinetry, and an industrial-style gas range with hood and double oven, complemented by stainless steel appliances. An adjacent den offers space for a breakfast nook, sitting area, or office, with French doors opening to the rear patio. The main level also includes a powder room, under-stair storage, and direct garage access with laundry. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms feature plush carpeting, mirrored wardrobes, and access to a shared balcony. A versatile loft overlooks the living room and is ideal for a media lounge, library, or office. The primary suite offers high ceilings, mirrored closets, a private balcony, and a spacious ensuite bath with dual sinks, jetted tub, walk-in shower, and walk-in closet. Outdoor living is enhanced by a multi-level brick patio with partial wood awning, creating an inviting setting for coastal entertaining and al fresco dining.
