Monarch Bay Terrace

Monarch Bay Terrace

This architectural gem was custom designed by Harold B. Zook, 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. Home was taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt over a 3 year period when it was upgraded to current code and maximum efficiency. Finishing the project in 2018, the owners stayed true to the original design but used all new materials and high end technology. A lot line adjustment with the house next door was approved and increased the lot size to 12,546. The 5th bedroom was opened to the outdoors to create a California Room. Walls were removed in the kitchen/dining areas to create a double kitchen island and bar seating for 8. Twin wine coolers, beer fridge, and extra fridge and ice makers are found at the cocktail/bar area. Wolf Range, Subzero Fridge and coffee bar at main kitchen area. Terrazzo floors, Walnut paneling and "Rift Cut" White Oak floors and cabinetry, Cantara home automation and Fleetwood windows and doors. All outdoor decking that completely surrounds the home is IPE (also known as Ironwood). Spectacular landscape design by Mike Sullivan. The home is ideally situated on a quiet and premium location in MBT and retains design elements of a bygone era. 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 4 bedroom, 5 bath residence features 3 en suite bedrooms plus 2 powder baths featuring gorgeous Heath tile, including the master suite with an ocean-facing deck to enjoy Catalina Island and magnificent year-round sunsets. This is one of the larger homes offered in the community and captures ocean views from nearly every single room. $11,500,000 Active
