Discover a French-inspired gem perched atop a hill with ocean and sunset views within the exclusive, gated community of Monarch Beach. A stone pathway leads to the font gate and meanders passed the front doors through the beautiful, low maintenance landscaped yard which wraps around to an inviting back yard patio. Entering through the front double doors, a welcoming living room with a cozy fireplace seamlessly transitions into the dining area. The recently updated dining room lighting complements the new fixtures and hardware in the kitchen and throughout the home. The eat-in kitchen includes a cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher and ample cabinetry and pantry space. This charming residence boasts imported tile flooring on the main level and hard wood floors upstairs. The second floor has two bedrooms that share a bathroom as well as a spacious primary suite featuring dual vanities, a walk-in closet, shower, jetted tub, separate toilet closet and ocean/sunset views.
