First open house on Saturday after three weeks of no access to buyers. This home is turn key and then some, and it will not last. Designer turnkey living awaits in this beautifully updated single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the highly sought-after 55+ community of Monarch Summit II. This light-filled end unit features a rare, expansive grassy side yard and elevated views of mountains and city lights. The open-concept layout is centered around a warm fireplace and a fully reimagined kitchen with new quartz countertops, tile backsplash, bar-top seating, all-new appliances, a gas range and more. Designer-remodeled bathrooms, luxury vinyl plank flooring, new windows, fresh interior paint, solid-core doors with crystal knobs, a stunning chandelier, and a new front door create a truly move-in-ready home. Extensive system upgrades include a whole-house repipe, whole-house water filtration, new HVAC ductwork, updated fireplace, rebuilt patio cover, new stucco, roofing fascia, and new front and rear pavers. Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with a private front courtyard and sun-drenched rear patio. Monarch Summit II offers a vibrant, active lifestyle with a resort-style pool and spa, clubhouse, and beautifully maintained grounds. A rare and valuable benefit is walls-in fire insurance included in the HOA. Additional highlights include an attached two-car garage, central air conditioning, and an ideal location just minutes from beaches, luxury resorts, and Aliso Wood Canyon.
