Located at the end of a long private driveway on a premier cul-de-sac lot within the exclusive guard-gated community of Santa Lucia, 1 Monterey Pine Drive offers exceptional privacy, manicured surroundings, and sweeping canyon and ocean-view moments—arguably one of the most desirable sites and locations in Newport Coast. Framed by lush landscaping and generous open space on two sides, this extremely private residence spans approximately 3,649 square feet and features four bedrooms and five bathrooms. A gated entry and glass double doors introduce a dramatic two-story foyer filled with natural light and architectural volume. The main level is defined by walls of glass throughout, formal living and dining rooms, two fireplaces, and an open-concept family room that flows seamlessly into the kitchen. Recently renovated, the gourmet kitchen is anchored by a generous center island and enhanced by new designer appliances and custom cabinetry imported from Italy, blending elevated design with everyday functionality. A breakfast nook opens to the rear grounds, where tranquil canyon views provide a serene backdrop for outdoor dining and entertaining. Also on the main level is an office or guest bedroom with a newly renovated ensuite bath, along with a three-car garage. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms—each with its own recently updated full bath—offer comfort and privacy. The newly refreshed primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a sitting area, double-sided fireplace, jetted tub, walk-in shower, expansive walk-in closet, and a private terrace capturing beautiful views of Newport Harbor, rolling hillsides, and the distant coastline. Perched above Buck Gully, Santa Lucia is a coveted enclave of 103 detached homes, offering a rare balance of security, tranquility, and proximity to the best of Newport Coast, including Fashion Island, Crystal Cove’s beaches and state park, hiking and biking trails, top-rated schools, and John Wayne Airport. With its exceptional location, spacious floor plan, and thoughtful updates—including a recently updated HVAC system—1 Monterey Pine Drive presents a compelling opportunity in one of Orange County’s most prestigious communities.
