In the hills beyond the guarded entry gates of Laguna Niguel’s exclusive Monarch Point enclave awaits a soft-contemporary custom estate with incomparable ocean, white-water, coastline, city lights and golf course views from most living areas. A gated entrance introduces a private courtyard, which in turn provides the ideal introduction to an impressive light-filled interior. Details include limestone floors, a large central skylight, elegant staircase, formal living room with fireplace and 2-story ceiling, oversized formal dining room, and a family room with wet bar, walk-in wine closet, built-in wood-paneled entertainment center and a 2-sided fireplace shared with the living room. An island kitchen showcases a walk-in pantry, nook with bay window, granite countertops and a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator. The 3-bedroom, 4-bath design includes a main-floor office or 4th bedroom, 2 ensuite bedrooms, and a welcoming master suite with retreat, dual sided fireplace, dry sauna, exercise alcove, walk-in closet, and a deck with white-water, Salt Creek Beach and ocean views stretching as far as San Diego. Jaw-dropping views also characterize a billiards room + wet bar and an inviting rooftop deck. The gorgeous backyard displays a fire pit, BBQ, spa with fountains, and ample room for entertaining.
