Tucked away on a cul-de-sac in Monarch Bay Terrace, this single-level 4 bed, 3.5 bath, appx. 3005 Sq Ft showpiece with panoramic ocean views has been fully reimagined, expanded, and redesigned. From the moment you arrive at the private extended driveway framed by lush, low maintenance landscaping, the home reveals itself as a rare blend of timeless coastal style and modern innovation. Step inside through a dramatic rift-cut white oak pivot door and discover wide-plank French oak floors, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and gallery-like proportions. Oversized WinDor glass doors frame uninterrupted ocean views, opening to an expansive terrace designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of the home, the kitchen balances form and function with an 8 foot Taj Mahal leathered quartzite island, custom oak rift-cut cabinetry with glass accents, and professional-grade appliances including a Thermador range, True commercial refrigerator, and Miele coffee station. A built-in bar with ice maker, sink, Thor beverage center and storage connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces for effortless entertaining. The primary suite captures the coastline through picture windows and opens to a private terrace. The spa-inspired bath is finished with backlit Namibia Mystery Blue marble, a sculptural soaking tub, oversized rain shower, and dual vanities—all complemented by a fully customized walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a designer bath, while a fourth bedroom suite offers flexibility as live-in quarters, guest casita or as a multi-generational living space with its own entry, ensuite bath, bar sink and private patio. Multiple lounges, TimberTech decking, stainless cable railings, and a built-in sound system create a resort-like setting with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. The three-car garage showcases reflective full-view doors, marble-look epoxy flooring, and EV-readiness, doubling as a stylish showroom. Modern conveniences abound with all-new plumbing and electrical, tankless water heater, high-efficiency HVAC, wired for whole-home automation, Sonos audio zones, and smart security; the residence delivers the peace of mind of new construction with the warmth of thoughtful design. 23262 Ellice Circle is more than a remodel—it’s a complete re-invention of the coastal California lifestyle, where luxury design meets everyday comfort against a backdrop of panoramic ocean views.
