About This Home

As of April 2018

Architectural drama is unsurpassed in this magnificent designed Chris Abel contemporary masterpiece behind the gates of Laguna Woods II in Laguna Niguel. Wood ceilings with exposed beams soar skyward over open living areas that are illuminated with vast expanses of windows, including seamless corner and clerestory styles. Impeccably remodeled, the custom-caliber residence of approximately 2,703 square feet offers a private atrium accessed by a main-floor master suite and secondary bedroom, and a third ensuite bedroom that occupies the entire second level. Enjoy a great room with fireplace, vaulted ceiling and French doors to a side patio, an open dining room, and a step-down formal living room with wood flooring, white brick fireplace, media niche, built-in corner window seat and patio access. A high ceiling and lofty plant and art shelves crown a gorgeous kitchen with custom white Shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops with full backsplash, breakfast bar, large garden window and high-end stainless steel appliances. Immediate access to the backyard highlights a spacious master suite with sitting area and a lavish bath complete with a jetted tub, steam shower and stone surrounds. Travertine flooring, custom base molding, paneled interior doors, designer lighting fixtures, a stunning staircase and an attached 2-car garage are also featured. Private view-enhanced grounds host a resort pool and spa with fountains, generous patio space and lush tropical landscaping.
