About This Home
As of June 2019Poised on a hilltop like a sculpture that subtly changes from every angle, this award-winning ultra-contemporary custom estate is one of the most sought-after residences in Laguna Beach’s desirable Mystic Hills community. Priceless ocean views from indoors and out embrace Catalina Island, dazzling sunsets, Laguna’s Main Beach and Village, crashing waves and twinkling city lights. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home reflects the talents of architect Mark Singer, with a later expansion by Brion Jeanette. Approx. 4,559 s.f., the 2-story design hosts 4 bedroom suites, 4 full and 2 half baths, a living room with double-height ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows, a lounge and wet bar, an office and a gym. A formal dining room shares a 2-sided fireplace with the living room and opens seamlessly to an island kitchen with gloss-white cabinetry, top-end appliances and quartz countertops. The open and airy residence reveals curvilinear walls, polished concrete floors and a floating staircase. Romantic ocean views embellish a master suite with view deck, a fireplace, walk-in closet and a luxurious bath. A catering kitchen, large pantry, 2 laundry rooms, and a 3-car garage with built-in storage and epoxy flooring lend appreciated convenience. Virtually flat, an enormous homesite of nearly 10,193 square feet hosts a long, gated driveway with ample guest parking, a private entry courtyard, and an impressive backyard with fire bowls, pebble-finished decking and steps to a secret patio.
