About This Property

Ocean views fill nearly every room in this masterfully reimagined and upgraded Mid-Century Revival-style home in Laguna Beach with the tranquility and splendor of nature's beauty. Panning across the shimmering waters of the Pacific, a verdant canyon, scenic hills and twinkling evening lights, the hypnotic views are also enjoyed from a spacious heated deck that takes full advantage of the property's wide frontage and provides generous room for outdoor entertaining. Entertaining is equally impressive indoors, where an open floorplan extends approximately 2,377 square feet, complete with a trio of large bedrooms and two- and one-half baths. Opening to the deck via French doors, the home's great room is primed for special times with loved ones in a space that boasts a vaulted open-beam ceiling, walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, a living area with custom fireplace, and a dining room that's sure to become a favorite gathering place for kids and adults alike. The great room continues effortlessly into an island kitchen with stone countertops, a pantry, open shelving, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances from Thermador and Bosch, and an nook that is perfect for breakfast while enjoying the mesmerizing views. Each bath presents a chic and modern aesthetic, with the primary suite's bath showcasing a freestanding tub, a large walk-in shower with outstanding views, and high-end fixtures from noted French designer Phillippe Starck. Wood flooring, sophisticated tile and custom lighting further embellish the residence's appeal. Colorful and tropical landscaping harmonizes with lifelike synthetic turf, a welcoming front yard and entry, and driveway parking at the two-car garage to create undeniable curb appeal at the home, which is only moments from Laguna Beach's famous shopping and dining destinations, pristine beaches, secret coves and renowned art galleries. From magical ocean views and a modern, open design to an unparalleled location, this move-in-ready home is destined to bring you countless years of enjoyment, treasured moments and fond memories.
