Experience coastal living with uncompromising luxury in one of Orange County’s most coveted gated communities. This gorgeously remodeled, detached single-level home on the ocean side of Niguel Shores enjoys views of the Pacific and a rare, expansive backyard with a private pool.
Set on an intimate three-home cul-de-sac with no neighbor on one side, the property feels exclusive and tranquil, yet remains moments from everything that makes this coastline world-renowned. Inside, abundant west-facing windows bathe the entry and main living areas in natural light. Significantly remodeled in 2024, the home showcases new engineered hardwood floors, built-ins, elevated finishes, upgraded systems (repipe, new HVAC, new sewer line and more) and a magazine-worthy, reimagined kitchen enhanced by warm Taj Mahal quartzite counters and chic pendants.
Outdoors, the lifestyle unfolds against an ocean-view backdrop. The exceptionally deep lot offers a private pool, generous green space, outdoor dining, integrated fire pit, built-in barbecue, and a vibrant outdoor shower, providing room to entertain or simply unwind in your own coastal retreat. An attached two-car garage and generous driveway add convenience and ease, completing a residence that feels as welcoming as it is refined.
From this idyllic setting, stroll to the Niguel Shores amenities: bluff-top park, a clubhouse with a lap pool, spa & sauna, bocce ball, sports courts, a kids playground, tennis, pickle ball and private access to Strands Beach, opening the door to daily walks on the sand, sunrise coffee with ocean views, and unforgettable evenings beneath painted skies, making your home the gathering spot for friends and family. Minutes away are five-star resorts, golf, world-class surf, sailing, hiking trails, restaurants, and shopping. All of this sits within an hour of Los Angeles, San Diego, and four major airports, putting the best of Southern California, and beyond, at your reach.
Whether you’re seeking a full-time sanctuary or a luxurious weekend haven, this home offers the rare opportunity to live as though every day is a vacation. This is the coastal life you’ve dreamed of: peaceful, inspiring, and entirely your own.
