About This Home

As of January 2024

The residence at 1375 Bluebird Canyon Drive is a reflection of the best of Laguna, a balance of unexpected design and functionality with perfect proximity to the village, hiking trails, and beaches. Thoroughly and recently updated by the owners, the home includes a bevy of comfort features woven together with clever design and plenty of unique design details. Much of the living space overlooks beautiful views of open hillside and canyon spaces that are ever changing as the sun tracks across the sky, while still providing a surprising amount of privacy. The main level features a large great room centered on a fireplace with sets of French doors opening to a generous ipe wood view deck. Kitchen and dining are open to the living room and share the soaring cathedral ceilings, providing a tremendous sense of volume and space. The kitchen is a marvel of space planning – even while accommodating a Viking stove, a large European Liebherr refrigerator, two Perlick wine refrigerators, Sub-zero refrigeration drawers, and ultra-quiet ASKO dishwasher, the custom cabinetry provides an immense amount of storage. The lower level hosts all bedrooms, with ipe view deck accessed from both a charming dutch door and sets of French doors from the primary suite. Seemingly the size of a New York apartment, the generously sized primary suite provides the space to nest in comfort while the primary bath is, well…remarkable. Featuring a large ‘wet room’ with a doorless (but enclosed) grand shower with heated and lit grooming mirror and a sculpted Bain Ultra soaking tub, an oversized vanity with abundant storage, and a separate water closet with Toto Washlet, there is nothing missing from this bath. Off the primary bath sits an oversized walk-in closet, fully finished by California Closets. Two additional bedrooms, a beautifully updated guest bath and laundry finish the lower level. Fixtures and additional finishes include ¾ inch hard pine floors, Newport Brass plumbing fixtures, Ann Sacks and Porcelanosa tile, Walker Zanger slabs, and a powder room with wall art by Ekaterina Panikanova. A good-sized backyard is reworked for drought tolerance. Other features include Tesla solar and battery back-up (fully paid), dual system air conditioning, Lutron lighting controls, and Pella Architectural windows. With a location on one of Laguna’s best walking loops yet a short distance to beach and town, 1375 Bluebird Canyon Drive is a home where you can live your best Laguna life.
