Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1976, this property is well-maintained with 'good bones' as described, but the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, is significantly dated. The kitchen features older white cabinets with gold trim, dark speckled countertops, and a mix of older black and newer stainless appliances. Bathrooms have very dated vanities, strip lighting, and floral wallpaper. While functional and clean, these areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards and styles. The flooring is a mix of older white tile and carpet, and light fixtures are also outdated. This aligns with a 'fair' condition, indicating it's aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated, and requiring minor updates (which in this case means a full cosmetic renovation of key areas).
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Panoramic Views: The property boasts stunning, private panoramic views of the ocean, mountains, and garden, including spectacular sunsets, from its elevated position on Sea Island Drive.
Premier Coastal Location: Situated in the desirable Monarch Bay Terrace, the home offers immediate access to world-renowned beaches, luxury resorts (Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria), and the revitalized Dana Point Harbor.
Expansive & Private Lot with Pool: An oversized 18,145 sqft lot provides exceptional privacy, mature lush landscaping, fruit trees, a beautiful private pool, and a deck, creating an ideal outdoor oasis.
Desirable Single-Level Layout: This true single-level Mid-Century home features vaulted ceilings and 'good bones,' offering functional living and architectural character with potential for modern updates.
Significant Customization Potential: Described as 'waiting for your Imagination to Recreate It,' the property offers a unique opportunity for buyers to customize and modernize a well-located estate to their exact specifications.

Cons

Requires Extensive Renovation: Built in 1976, the home's 'Mid-Century' status and description imply a need for substantial modernization and upgrades to meet contemporary luxury standards and buyer expectations.
Absence of Central Cooling System: While ocean breezes are mentioned, there is no indication of a central air conditioning system, which could be a comfort concern during warmer periods in Southern California.
Substantial Monthly Association Fees: The property carries a notable association fee of $640.0 per month, representing a significant ongoing cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
