Set within the desirable 55+ community of Monarch Summit, this single-level home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac and enjoys sweeping ocean and horizon views. Now configured as a two-bedroom floor plan, the residence features an expanded great-room living area created by opening the optional third bedroom - resulting in an exceptionally large, light-filled space with walls of windows framing the panoramic coastal scenery. Exceptionally clean and meticulously maintained, the home offers an outstanding opportunity for both investors and end-users. Its mostly original interiors provide an ideal canvas for personalized updates, with built-in equity reflected in the attractive list price compared to recent neighborhood sales. A private gated courtyard sits just off the kitchen, perfect for morning coffee or outdoor dining, and the secondary bedroom opens directly to this courtyard for added indoor-outdoor enjoyment. At the rear of the property, a spacious patio captures the ocean views and cool breezes - an inviting place to relax or entertain while taking in the coastal setting. Additional features include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, indoor laundry, and an attached two-car garage. Residents of Monarch Summit enjoy beautifully kept grounds, ocean-breeze living, and convenient access to nearby parks, walking trails, and the community clubhouse and pool. With its prime location, impressive view orientation, and exceptional floor plan, this home presents a rare opportunity in one of Laguna Niguel's most sought-after 55+ communities.
