On a very private half-acre-plus hilltop in Monarch Bay Terrace, this elegant pool home overlooks the community of Monarch Beach from the sea to Saddleback Mountain. Sunrises here are stunning. This meticulously maintained home boasts a primary suite with a wall of windows to the verdant garden and views; a private, separate wing holding two bedrooms (one with a large living area), bathroom, and laundry room; and a spacious loft with a full bath and excellent ocean and sunset views. The loft now serves as an office and TV room but also can be used as a fourth bedroom or game room. The open-plan living area comprises a handsome living room, fireplace-warmed library nook, dining room that opens to the pool, bar area, elegant powder room, kitchen with island and separate eating area, and cozy family room that opens to an expansive slate patio, lush gardens, and panoramic views from the Monarch Links golf course down to Salt Creek Beach. Adjacent to the three-car garage is a fully plumbed and wired art studio that can be converted to a bedroom, gym, or office. From the view-rich front yard with bocce court to the pebble-finish pool with fountain, this is a home for living the California dream.
