About this home

An exceptional residence within the esteemed, guard-gated coastal enclave of Monarch Bay with commanding unobstructed ocean and golf course vistas. This distinguished craftsman-style property occupies a premier position within the community: the expansive lot is the midpoint of the second row, affording unobstructed views of the Pacific. The floor plan of the main dwelling features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with the wow-factor ocean panoramas beginning at the front door. Interiors were curated to reflect an atmosphere of understated luxury, with clean lines and a tranquil aesthetic. In addition to the voluminous main entertaining area with a fireplace, the main level is comprised of a sunroom with retractable glass walls and a skylight. A perfect spot for all-season enjoyment, it offers an immersive experience of the coastal environment, with breezes and sounds of the nearby sea. Stunning vistas continue into the sleeping quarters, most notably the grand primary suite with an ocean-facing bathroom and a generous walk-in closet. The lower level provides independent living quarters with a dine-in kitchen and attached covered patio: an additional vantage point for taking in the whitewater views. The entertaining options extend to the rear outdoor area, where a sitting section with a fire pit is a fantastic private space ideal for unwinding. The sought-out Monarch Bay Beach Club offers fine dining and amenities available exclusively to the residents of the community while the homeowners association facilities complimentary trash removal and internet service. Further opportunities for leisure are located within minutes, with the Ritz Carlton, Montage Laguna Beach, and notable golf courses nearby.
