Commanding a prominent Monarch Point site, this custom-built property takes in sweeping vistas including Catalina Island, Salt Creek Beach’s surf and neighboring rolling hills. At dusk, thousands of lights sparkle from the legendary coastal towns below. A courtyard driveway sets off the Mediterranean style, five-bedroom residence. European refinement continues in the 30-foot-high entry hall, with polished white marble floors and a wrought-iron balustrade and chandelier. Additionally accessed through the entry hall is a richly paneled library/office. The kitchen showcases stainless appliances amid a chic color scheme with the same pristine marble floors. Upstairs behind double doors, the master suite optimizes the exceptional views. A three-sided fireplace separates the sleeping area from a sitting room with an ocean-view terrace. The suite’s planked hardwood floors continue into the spacious master bath, notable for its dramatic veined marble and private sauna. The three remaining upstairs bedrooms are joined by a multi-purpose room with bar that’s perfect for entertaining close friends with a game of billiards and relaxing together at day’s end. At the rear, a wraparound patio features a fountain, fire pit, built-in BBQ and a bar. Gate-guarded Monarch Point’s modest HOA fee not only includes in-home security, but also access to a year-round heated swimming pool, two hot tubs, two tennis courts, plus racquetball and basketball courts. Badlands Park’s trails are a block away.
