Best buy in Monarch Bay Terrace! Mid-century modern at the beach. First time on the market in 40+ years, this special property represents a rare opportunity and great value as a primary home or investment property with tremendous upside potential. This architectural gem was custom designed by Harold B. Zook, AIA, in the 1960s and draws inspiration from the Eichler-style movement of the central open-air atrium exemplifying the timeless “indoor/outdoor” concept. Large windows and doors of glass, voluminous rooms, and striking open spaces showcase spectacular panoramic ocean views, including beach and whitewater waves crashing below the Ritz Carlton & The Dana Strand. The home is ideally situated on a quiet and premium location in MBT and retains design elements of a bygone era but recently updated with modern conveniences. A highly desirable single-level residence that is fresh and inviting from the moment you enter as the rooms/spaces seamlessly flow from one to another. The 5 bedroom, 5 bath residence features 3 en suite bedrooms, including the master suite with an ocean-facing deck to enjoy Catalina Island and magnificent year-round sunsets. This is one of the largest homes offered in the community and captures ocean views from three sides of the home.
