About This Home
As of December 2025Perched amidst the quiet beauty of Bluebird Canyon, this Chris Abel masterpiece captures the soul of Laguna Beach—an inspired blend of timeless architecture, sophistication, and sweeping coastal views. Approx. 2,318 square feet of post-and-beam architecture embraces its natural surroundings, featuring an inviting eat-in kitchen and walls of glass that dissolve boundaries between indoors and out. The result is a serene coastal treehouse experience unlike any other. Three private bedrooms each open to a personal balcony, creating intimate retreats immersed in nature. A secluded primary suite crowns the home, featuring a sun-drenched private deck and ultimate tranquility. The lower level is dedicated to leisure and wellness, offering a versatile family or flex space alongside a private sauna for a true spa-like escape. Outdoors, the property blends gracefully into the hillside with a built-in bar anchoring the backyard, perfect for gatherings framed by panoramic vistas. A dedicated workshop offers flexible space for a home office, studio, or expansion. Located moments from Bluebird Park, world-class beaches, and Laguna’s vibrant village, this residence offers the rare combination of serenity, architecture, and stunning coastal views.
