    Step into a world of timeless sophistication and refined coastal living within the prestigious guarded gates of Monarch Bay in Dana Point. This exceptional residence boasts breathtaking panoramic ocean and Catalina Island views as your daily backdrop and was thoughtfully reimagined through an extensive remodel in 2003, which also included the addition of approximately 1,500 square feet to create the home’s expansive and luxurious primary suite. Designed with an open and airy layout, this home embodies elegance and offers an unparalleled lifestyle of beauty and relaxation. From nearly every principal room, enjoy sweeping views of the Pacific and Catalina that elevate daily living into an extraordinary experience. The ocean-view living and dining rooms are ideal for entertaining, with the dining room enhanced by a wet bar and an expansive custom 1,200-bottle wine room.

A large bonus room with spectacular ocean views opens to a sunny deck, providing the perfect space for gatherings or quiet moments of relaxation. With generously proportioned interiors, this home is designed to accommodate both intimate living and hosting on a grand scale. The serene primary suite offers romantic ocean views, a private sitting area with a fireplace, a spa-inspired bath, and custom walk-in closets. Throughout the home, exquisite details such as soaring ceilings, hardwood and travertine flooring, plantation shutters, and crown molding underscore its timeless appeal. The expansive backyard is an entertainer’s paradise, featuring lush garden-like landscaping, a spa, custom fireplace, BBQ bar, and a five-hole putting green. As a resident of Monarch Bay, enjoy private beach access and exclusive clubhouse amenities managed by the renowned Waldorf Astoria resort. Known as one of Southern California’s most exclusive and desirable coastal communities, Monarch Bay offers an unrivaled lifestyle of privacy, luxury, and distinction. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle defined by elegance, coastal beauty, and timeless sophistication.
