About This Home

As of October 2021

Located atop the hill off Pacific Island Drive, in pristine Laguna Niguel, this single-level home--located in the 55+ community of Monarch Summit II--has it all. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, with 1,642 square feet of living area, has views of the Ocean, Surrounding Hills, and Distant Mountains. With a quiet cul-de-sac location, you will enjoy Pacific Ocean breezes and lush landscaping.

Enter through a gated and landscaped courtyard, or through your attached 2-car garage. Once inside there is an open, airy, sunny atmosphere provided by lots of windows and sliders, vaulted ceilings and skylights. There is a large kitchen with plenty of storage and conveniently located washer and dryer in the garage.

This is a highly desirable Plan B Home, where the 3rd bedroom has been converted to an office/den. Central Air keeps the temperature pleasant year-round, and plantation shutters quiet the afternoon sun. Monarch Summit II includes many wonderful activities and events. The community includes a clubhouse with full kitchen, pool and spa.

There are great hiking trails nearby at Seaview Park and Badlands, as well as a park on Talavera Drive offering breathtaking views in every direction. There is no better place to live than the quiet and well-maintained community of Monarch Summit II. Close to world famous beaches and resorts, golf, shopping and restaurants.

Welcome to Life on The Hill!
