With beautiful hill, mountain and evening-light views, a wonderfully open floorplan and a complete remodel, this turnkey townhome at Monaco II in Laguna Niguel’s Marina Hills community is among the area’s finest. A long driveway and manicured landscaping capture the eye upon arrival, and a gated side entry with fountain makes a lasting first impression. Inside, a bright, upscale ambiance embellishes living spaces that include an inviting living room with towering ceiling, clerestory windows, a fireplace and a sliding-glass door opening to the backyard. A spacious dining room makes entertaining easy and stylish, and it transitions effortlessly to a custom kitchen with quartz countertops, white Shaker cabinetry, wide-open views, and a waterfall-edge peninsula. Designer tile shines on a full backsplash, and stainless steel appliances are led by a five-burner LG range. Top-tier appointments extend beyond the kitchen, with wide-plank woodgrain luxury vinyl flooring featured throughout, plantation shutters, designer wall treatments, skylights illuminating a dramatic staircase, and custom crown molding and wainscoting. The home is filled with light and spans approximately 1,773 square feet, with a trio of bedrooms revealing vaulted ceilings, and two- and one-half baths boasting quartz countertops and upgraded finishes and fixtures. Both secondary bedrooms open to a generous sun deck, and the primary suite reveals a view-enhanced balcony. Homeowners will appreciate the suite’s walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath with two sinks and a custom shower that displays tile surrounds and a stone floor. An attached two-car garage and interior laundry room add convenience. Grounds measure nearly 3,268 square feet and are highlighted by a lush view-oriented backyard with tropical landscaping, a patio with Spanish tile, and the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining under the sun and stars. Monaco II neighbors a scenic community park, and Marina Hills’ popular sports park is just down the street and presents a swimming pool, spa, tennis courts, ball fields and bocce ball. The Laguna Niguel Racquet Club is minutes from home, and Laguna Beach, Dana Point’s harbor and miles of scenic trails ensure abundant fun in the sun.
