About This Home
Perched above the city with endless 180 vistas, this modern retreat offers a front-row seat to Southern California’s most iconic scenery. From Catalina and Palos Verdes to snow-capped mountains and nightly Disneyland fireworks, the views are as dynamic as they are unforgettable. Arrive through a dramatic atrium-style entry filled with natural light and soaring volume. The heart of the home blends a chef’s kitchen with the family room, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping Catalina views while entertaining or enjoying quiet mornings with coffee. Across the way, the living room invites you to unwind with the sparkle of city lights and the backdrop of mountain peaks. Designed for both flexibility and function, the main level includes an office that easily serves as a guest suite. The lower level is a private haven anchored by the expansive primary suite with a sitting area and direct access to the outdoor entertaining space. Here, you’ll find an outdoor kitchen, gathering areas, and a spa—ideal for hosting or simply taking in golden sunsets. Two additional guest bedrooms, a reading lounge, laundry room, and full bath complete this thoughtful layout. This is more than a home—it’s a sanctuary in the sky, where every day begins and ends with views that inspire. Centrally located in Orange County (about 40 miles south of Los Angeles), just 30 minutes to Newport Beach and 20 minutes to Orange County Airport.
