Property Description
Two ways to own Monarch Bay. Live in this single-level home today, or build new with City and HOA approved plans by Brandon Architects for a brand-new single-level residence. The property can be delivered permit-ready (RTI). List price does not include construction of the new home. Set behind the 24-hour guard gate on one of Monarch Bay’s larger private lots (approx. 11,900 sq ft), the classic mid-century home is turnkey and recently updated with a new presidential roof. Inside, an open floor plan centers on a sunlit family room with vaulted ceilings and a statement fireplace, alongside a formal dining area, a quartz kitchen and walls of sliding doors that open to the outdoors. Four bedrooms, three with en-suite baths, all open to outdoor spaces. A home conceived for life at the highest level, with the privacy to match. Residents enjoy the private Monarch Bay Beach Club, managed by the Waldorf Astoria, with beach butler service, coastal dining and oceanfront lounging, near world-class golf, hiking and Dana Point Harbor.
