About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to this beautifully upgraded, OCEAN VIEW gem— a rare, no-steps, ground-floor, single-level home. Nestled in the 24-hour guard-gated community of Ritz Point. This is one the most sought-after buildings in the neighborhood of Monarch Hills, and a MUST SEE. The light-filled, open living area features a cozy gas fireplace, ideal for cool nights in. The separate dining area comfortably accommodates six guests. Recent upgrades include all-new windows and sliding glass doors, enhancing both style and energy efficiency. The living room, kitchen, and primary bedroom all have direct access to the back patio, while the conveniently located laundry room is just off the primary bedroom. Enjoy outdoor dining al fresco with a comfortable seating area, perfect for coastal evenings. The gourmet kitchen, complete with granite countertops, is a dream for anyone who loves to cook. The spacious primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The second bedroom, large enough for either two twin beds or a king-size bed, offers its own ocean view. Newer laminate wood floors, updated toilets, and a front glass storm door with a screen invite you to take in the ocean breeze. This home is also equipped with central AC. Take advantage of the incredible nature trail that winds around the Monarch Beach golf course, ending at Salt Creek Beach. Located just minutes from Dana Point Harbor, Laguna Beach, and world-class resorts like the Ritz Carlton and Waldorf Astoria, this home offers the ultimate coastal lifestyle. Recent updates include fresh paint, custom canned lighting, new interior doors, baseboards, and new bathroom fixtures. The windows have all been replaced, and the complex was repiped in 2024. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with its own en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom is perfect for guests or as a home office. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with contemporary finishes. The beautiful ocean-view front porch is the perfect spot to have your morning coffee or your evening wind down with the sunset.
Newly renovated community spas—one offering breathtaking ocean and sunset views, just steps from your front door. Residents also have access to a private community pool, clubhouse, gym, and grass area. Just minutes to the beach, restaurants, and all that beautiful Dana Point has to offer. Welcome home!
