Open the gate to enter a Porte Cochere hand-carved in Beaumaniere limestone with a groin vault ceiling, and enter the gracious inner courtyard with a luxurious outdoor fireplace, fountain and seating area. This begins your welcome into an outstanding estate by the ocean built with the utmost attention to detail. Located in the guard-gated community of Ritz Cove, this home lies in the only community nestled between the Five Star Ritz Carlton and Monarch Beach Resort, next to the golf course. You pass through a magnificent iron door into a foyer that is a spectacular oval rotunda of carved stone. The staircase of solid carved stone slab casing is a work of art, and is lit by a marvelous skylight in the high ceiling. There are 4 huge bedroom suites, including a majestic Master Bedroom suite, and three of the four suites overlook the ocean. There is an enormous Designer kitchen that looks out over the great room, open bar, and ocean. The spaces are remarkable, light filled, and glorious in their design. The exterior is exquisite. The ocean side boasts hand carved stone arches and grand windows which capture the views at every angle. This home is perched out on the bluff in front of the neighbors, and visitors capture views in 180 degree directions, with the vista of the Ritz Carlton on the bluff to the left, and the splashing white water waves crashing on Salt Creek Beach and Monarch Bay straight ahead and to the right.
