About This Home

Prepare to be captivated by show-stopping ocean views that will leave you breathless. From crashing waves and golden Catalina sunsets to twinkling city lights and sweeping canyon vistas, every angle of this home captures the magic of Laguna Beach living. Step inside and enjoy a sun-drenched, open-concept living area with floor-to-ceiling glass sliders opening to a wide ocean-view balcony. This indoor-outdoor flow defines this incredible home, with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, a sunken and spacious private front courtyard with a water feature, and a lushly-landscaped backyard that offers complete privacy. This space truly feels like your own private retreat while offering stunning scenery and unlimited entertaining potential. Perfectly positioned on a cul de sac in Arch Beach Heights, the property is just a mile from the beach and only a half mile from Moulton Meadows Park with its tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, dog park, and miles of scenic trails for hiking and biking. Here, you're surrounded by the very best of this coveted coastal community. A short golf cart ride or free trolley ride north takes you downtown, while a short drive south leads to the world-famous Montage Resort less than 2 miles away. This property is truly a rare gem in one of Laguna’s most desirable neighborhoods. It's not just a home — it’s a front-row seat to the extraordinary.
