Located in prestigious gate-guarded Ritz Cove, this stately oceanfront residence occupies the premier location within this established coastal enclave. Situated on an elevated corner parcel, the classic Mediterranean architecture has two full, ocean-facing exposures. By day and by night, the ocean and coastline views are simply unsurpassable. Inside, an elegant and relaxed atmosphere defines the home. Warm tones, rich materials, and a spacious plan provide the optimal environment for living and entertaining. Imported limestone, artisanal finishes, and exquisite craftsmanship are the hallmarks of the design. A series of informal rooms flow from one to another and then open to seaside terraces and a pool overlooking the ocean. 70' feet of ocean frontage ensure that all main rooms have views. The kitchen is light, bright and detailed with top-of-the-line appliances. The perfectly appointed master suite is a relaxing retreat and includes a sumptuous bath and large oceanfront terrace. This property also has direct, gated access to one of this coast's best swimming beaches. Located adjacent to Monarch Beach's 5-star rated Ritz Carlton, its amenities complement the resort setting. The region's finest dining, shopping and recreation are but minutes away.
