About this home

Hidden away in the desired Niguel Coast area, this highly-upgraded home is sure to impress! Two miles from Salt Creek Beach, this beautifully-remodeled 5-bed (+bonus room), 3.5-bath residence offers the perfect blend of coastal living & modern comfort. Upon arrival, high pride of ownership is undeniable with whitewashed stone & artistic landscaping. Inside, it’s apparent the home has been remodeled top-to-bottom. A stunning kitchen invites you inside with an 15ft waterfall island & comfortable bar seating for eight. Dual Viking ranges, four ovens, two sinks & dishwashers, ample custom cabinetry, all finished with accent tile creates a very chic space. An open atrium allows natural light to flood into the great room. The kitchen, dining & living all share one open, seamless space. Soaring beamed-ceilings in the living room create a coastal feel warmed by a gas fireplace. The great room flows seamlessly through massive LaCantina bi-folding doors to the rear yard featuring new low-maintenance turf, two spacious embossed-concrete patios, & shade covering - very private & open on the ridge with no one behind. Off the great room, the first-level primary offers major space with a coved ceiling, beautiful bay window, French door to yard, spa-like bathroom & soaking tub, privacy toilet, dual sinks, granite counters, vanity, walk-in closet & shower - all with major natural light. The dedicated laundry room (direct 2-car garage access), powder bath, & a rare downstairs primary suite complete the lower level. Up the tiled staircase with posh accent tile offers four additional bedrooms (one with peek ocean view & vaulted ceiling), a bonus room (play room, storage or office) & two remodeled bathrooms (one added). Other improvements: Completely remodeled in 2019 with new floor plan, tiled accent walls, new tile flooring, repiped (2023), water heater (2024), fumigated (2025), front re-landscaped & irrigation system (2023), several new fixtures, lighting & upgraded bathrooms. Ideally located on a quiet cul-de-sac with easy access to nearby neighborhood amenities: pool, spa, warm outdoor shower & tennis court. Walkable to popular restaurants Project Social & Dana Kai sushi, nearby John Malcom Elementary, Waldorf Astoria, Monarch Beach Golf Links & the Ritz Carlton. Take the beach trail to Salt Creek Beach & close to DP Harbor (currently undergoing major renovations). A truly stunning home, remodeled throughout and centrally-located in one of Orange County’s very best areas.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Modern Renovation: The property underwent a complete top-to-bottom remodel in 2019, including a new floor plan, updated flooring, repiping (2023), new water heater (2024), and recent landscaping (2023), ensuring modern comfort and reduced immediate maintenance.
Gourmet Chef's Kitchen: Features a stunning kitchen with a 15ft waterfall island, dual Viking ranges, four ovens, two sinks, two dishwashers, and ample custom cabinetry, designed for high-end culinary experiences and entertaining.
Prime Coastal Location & Amenities: Ideally situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, two miles from Salt Creek Beach, with walkable access to popular restaurants, top-rated John Malcom Elementary (9/10), and proximity to luxury resorts and golf courses. Includes access to neighborhood pool, spa, and tennis courts.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living & Privacy: The great room opens via massive LaCantina bi-folding doors to a private rear yard featuring new low-maintenance turf, spacious concrete patios, and no rear neighbors, offering an ideal setting for relaxation and entertaining.
Desirable Downstairs Primary Suite: A rare and highly sought-after first-level primary suite boasts a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in closet, and direct French door access to the yard, providing convenience and luxury.

Cons

No Central Air Conditioning Mentioned: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for some buyers, particularly during warmer months in Southern California.
Limited Ocean View: While one bedroom offers a 'peek ocean view,' the property does not feature expansive or panoramic ocean views, which might be a consideration for buyers prioritizing prominent coastal vistas in this area.
Moderate Lot Size with Low-Maintenance Landscaping: The 5,390 sqft lot, while private, is not exceptionally large and features low-maintenance turf and concrete patios, which may not appeal to buyers desiring a more extensive or traditional garden space.
