About This Home

As of June 2021

Tucked in a quiet neighborhood just out of the Laguna Beach fray, 1545 Bluebird Canyon Drive is a marvelous architectural home just a short jaunt to the beaches and village that make Laguna living so wonderful. With an enduring style by architect Tim Nicol and designer Michael Fullen, life at 1545 Bluebird Canyon Drive revolves around a large ocean view great room. A custom multi-paned view window creates a stunning focal point for the dining area and kitchen (with table space for 12+), while a soaring fireplace surrounded by custom woodwork anchors the living area at the great room’s other end. One end of the great room opens through panels of glass to a generous terrace. The upper level is all master suite, accessed by a glass railed gallery walk across the two story entrance. With strong ocean views and an innovative open design, the suite provides a comfortable, ample retreat. A second ocean view terrace on this level adds to the abundant outdoor space. Finishes and fixtures include Ann Sacks tile, Miele and Subzero appliances, and Dornbracht faucets. A large main level bedroom and a media den/office (designed as a third bedroom) finish the main level. Design details, small and large, take the home to the next level – stainless steel entry doors, a single-rail architectural staircase, unique art glass tilework, and more. This is a beautifully rendered residence in a serenely lovely location, a unique opportunity to obtain a newer architectural view home of this caliber.
