Welcome to 43 Ritz Cove, situated in one of the most opulent and exclusive guard gated communities along the California Riviera. This completely renovated single-level, ocean view home was rebuilt and redesigned in 2019 by renowned Los Angeles based architecture and design firm Marmol Radziner. This three bedroom plus executive office home boasts the finest materials and craftsmanship. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by ocean views and an abundance of natural light. Vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and built-in cabinetry adorn the living room, in addition to French doors providing access to a spectacular backyard. The kitchen features a large center island with honed Casesarstone counter tops, Miele appliances, a built-in Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, and breakfast nook. The spacious master bedroom boasts ocean views and direct access to the backyard. The master bath offers a world class spa experience with an oversized steam shower, soaker tub, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet. Enjoy stunning ocean views and cool breezes from the backyard that features a saltwater pool and ample entertaining areas. The 3 car garage features high ceilings, epoxy floors and built-in storage. The Marmol Radziner interior design team thoughtfully custom built and furnished the entire home. As such, the home is being sold fully furnished less artwork and personal possessions. Enjoy private beach access and a short walk to the Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, Monarch Beach Golf Course, and the Monarch Bay Beach Club.

This exquisite two bedroom, single-level bungalow is located on the second row of Ritz Cove, just one row back from the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Nowhere will you find such a gem that is this intimate in size, yet full of superb appointments at every turn. One-stories are rare in oceanfront gated communities and especially rare on the second row. The fireplace is solid limestone and it rises to the 14 ft. ceiling in the stunning Living Room that looks out over the ocean. The kitchen is a dream of newly remodeled walnut cabinetry and gorgeous granite slabs. The island is accented by interior lighting and distressed glass. A beautiful window opens into the great room and the island looks out over the water. Sit by the pool with your beverage or warm your feet by the outdoor fireplace. There are two lovely bedrooms. The Master lies along the pool deck so you look out over the pool and garden to the ocean. The secondary bedroom is ensuite and is on the opposite side of the home. A very regal den is fully paneled and provides a perfect place to conduct work. It can also double as a secondary TV room. The pool is fabulous for a dip, and the three car garage is ideal for housing autos or storage. The entry to the home is absolutely picturesque, with vines growing in a lovely arch of the solid wood front door! Walk to the Ritz Carlton Resort or the Monarch Beach Resort for a massage or dinner! You can join to be a member of the MBR or the nearby Beach Club if you wish!
