This updated single-level residence in Monarch Bay Terrace offers an exceptional level of privacy paired with a location just minutes from Dana Point's sought-after attractions. The property sits on an expansive lot of nearly 15,000 square feet, providing significant outdoor space and a large three-car garage for vehicles and storage. Accessed through a courtyard, the ~3,789-square-foot interior features a functional layout with multiple living and gathering areas designed for various lifestyles. With six bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms-including a private guest suite with a dedicated kitchenette-the home is well-suited for multigenerational living or long-term visitors. An open-concept kitchen with stone countertops, designer appliances, and an oversized island serves as the center of the home. The open layout connects it to the living and dining areas, with French doors offering a seamless transition to a private wraparound yard and covered front patio - ideal for enjoying the coastal climate in a quiet setting. The location is both private and convenient, with the beach, the Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, and local golf courses just minutes away. Furthermore, this property is sited less than three miles from the Dana Point Harbor revitalization project: this landmark development is set to introduce new dining and retail to the area.
