About This Property

Newly renovated and extensively reimagined, the iconic "Gull House" at 2049 Ocean Way is a rare beachfront architectural masterpiece poised directly above the breathtaking beauty of Woods Cove, one of Laguna Beach's most picturesque coves. Designed by renowned, award winning architect Helena Arahuete of John Lautner Associates, this one of a kind contemporary residence is defined by striking angles, seamless indoor outdoor living, and timeless design. Three light filled levels, served by a private elevator, unfold across 4 bedrooms plus an office and 3.5 baths, thoughtfully designed to maximize both form and function. Rich materiality defines the interiors, with plank matched rosewood walls, koa wood accents, and Italian travertine slab flooring creating a warm yet sophisticated coastal aesthetic, while walls of glass frame uninterrupted whitewater and horizon views. At the heart of the home, a chef's kitchen outfitted with top tier appliances by Viking, Sub Zero, and Miele is ideal for both everyday living and grand scale entertaining. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, with a newly reimagined spa inspired bath featuring a dual vanities and a generous walk in closet, along with a private balcony and outdoor shower overlooking the cove. A comprehensive renovation has elevated the space, with upgrades including a new roof, windows and exterior doors, full repiping, dual AC condensers, Miele appliances, EV charger, fresh interior and exterior paint, a fully remodeled primary bath, and updated travertine and waterproofing at the entry. Steps from direct access to Woods Cove Beach and moments from Laguna's premier dining and shopping, including oceanfront dining at Splashes at the Surf & Sand Resort, the Gull House offers something exceptionally rare: an architecturally significant beachfront residence, beautifully renovated, on one of Southern California's most storied coastlines.
