Nestled in the private 24-hour guard gated community within the exclusive Ritz Pointe community. From the living room of this very lightly occupied beach gem, the ocean is within sight. This open and airy home was mostly used as a beach getaway for the current owners on weekends and holidays. The owners have supervised many upgrades during their 16 years of loving ownership - upgraded crown molding, designer paint, travertine entry and fireplace, new water heater, newer custom shutters throughout, mirrored dining room wall, and full gourmet kitchen remodel with granite countertops were done under their care. Large en-suite walk-in closet. The home has a gas fireplace, recessed art accent light and included washer and dryer in laundry room off the private balcony deck. Enjoy a TON of storage with two storage closets adjacent to the unit plus additional storage in the laundry room. Don't forget the included storm door to take in the fresh ocean breeze! Talk about location! This immaculate home is walking distance to Salt Creek Beach, the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach and Golf Links is a 5 minute walk, the Ritz-Carlton is a 10 minute walk, and the Montage Resort in Laguna Beach is a short drive. Close to ocean, harbor, 5-star restaurants, shopping, schools and more. Enjoy resort style living with large swimming pool and three community spas – one with breathtaking sunset and ocean views. Ritz Pointe also offers a private community clubhouse and gym. Where else are you going to find location, amenities and prestige for under $500k?!?!
