18 Breakers Ise

This European-inspired oceanfront home by interior designer Sue McKeehan and Architect Marshall Ininns is in the 24-hour guard gated beachfront community of Niguel Shores in Monarch Beach. Infused with antique details and the finest finish materials, the old world feeling is evident everywhere in the home, starting in the entry courtyard with its black and white marble floor, 12-foot high wrought iron and glass doors, and kitchen with an antique sway-backed French basin inserted into an old French chopping block. The endless panoramic views mesmerize from all three levels of the house; on the main floor, the sheer wall of glass allows the sun and water to filter into the kitchen and living room areas that are adjacent to it, on the upper level the oceanfront primary suite feels like you are on the bridge of an ocean liner, and from the lowest floor, the family room looks out onto the water and from this level one can walk out to the outdoor living space with its fireplace pool and steps to the private beach. The home’s main level features untreated marble, a large great room with an antique fireplace, and the kitchen, which has a sweeping view and is perfect for everyday living and hosting on a grand scale. The home’s upper level features three family bedrooms with en-suite baths, a study, and a dramatic primary suite with a retreat, fireplace, and elegant marble bath. The lower level of the home is all about entertaining with a theater, gym, wine room, guest suite, and playroom with a bar, built-ins, and a huge entertaining room. Niguel Shores is an active lifestyle community with private beach access, a clubhouse, a swimming pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, playground, and numerous athletic amenities. All the fun of the beach is outside your door, swimming, surfing, paddle boarding, volleyball, and just an easy walk to the world famous Ritz Carlton Hotel.
