As waves break along Salt Creek Beach, evening lights shimmer after sunset and coastal bluffs rise to the summit of the towering Dana Point Headlands, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the views at this spacious single-level Midcentury Modern home in Dana Point's guard-gated Monarch Bay. Floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors welcome natural light and frame ocean views from most living areas. A formal entry with skylight leads to a living room that presents sit-down ocean and Headland views and a fireplace with custom marble surround while a formal dining room hosts a private patio, creating the ideal ambiance for elevated entertaining. Opening to two patios, the family room is bright, airy and warmed by a period-perfect wood-burning fireplace. A convenient pass-thru to the family room is just one of the amenities that awaits in the kitchen. Enjoy a nook with bay window, white cabinetry, stone countertops, marble backsplash, ample pantry storage, and top-tier appliances including a built-in refrigerator and an under-counter beverage refrigerator. Approximately 3,262 square feet, the three-bedroom, three- and one-half-bath design reveals understated sophistication with a soft white color palette that harmonizes with wood, stone and tile flooring, designer lighting fixtures, 11' ceilings and subdued millwork including crown molding and wall panels. A two-car garage and dual-zone air-conditioning are also featured. Manicured grounds extend nearly 11,305 square feet, offering room for future expansion of the home if desired. A patio wraps around the front of the residence, the side yard includes bocce ball and a putting green, and a private view courtyard displays an in-ground spa and generous patio space for entertaining. Monarch Bay, renowned as one of Southern California's most sought-after oceanfront enclaves, offers residents access to the world-class amenities of its Monarch Bay Beach Club. Experience on-the-sand umbrella and beach-towel butler service, volleyball and oceanfront dining. A dog park, private tennis and pickleball courts, and beach fire pits are also included, and there are no HOA dues. Dana Point's harbor, Laguna Beach, The Ritz-Carlton, and coastal trails and premium golf are moments from home.
