Updated air conditioning brings year-round comfort, while the full repiping of the building - ensures long-term peace of mind.
Outdoor living is elevated by an expansive wrap-around balcony with direct access from the living room, kitchen & primary suite. A private laundry room with full-size washer & dryer and an exterior storage closet add everyday convenience.
Residents enjoy the 24-hour guard-gated Ritz Pointe community with resort-style amenities including a heated pool, 3 spas with ocean & canyon views, fitness center, clubhouse, and private coastal trails.
