50 Vista Montemar This exceptional property in the prestigious Palmilla community, currently a to-the-studs as-is remodel with over $700, 000 in materials and labor already completed, is a rare opportunity on a sprawling lot. While the city-approved plans for a reimagining of the interior design by Susan Thiel Design, exterior, and expansion of the previous footprint by approximately 351 square feet offer significant potential, those with a differing vision can take advantage of the blank-slate condition of the property and enjoy the breathtaking views of the hills and ocean while brining their vision to life. The floor plan encompasses a double-height great room, five bedrooms and a den inside the main residence, and a detached casita with a private entry. The gathering areas and the primary retreat boast commanding vistas and the spacious backyard with a wraparound patio features a large pool and spa, offering a multitude of entertaining options. A six car garage with additional driveway parking will thrill any automotive enthusiast. While featuring privacy, the location of this estate is within minutes of coveted local destinations, such as the Waldorf Astoria and Orange County’s famous beaches.
