About This Home

As of November 2024

JUST REDUCED! Dramatic Whitewater Ocean views take center stage in this spacious modern home. Ideally situated in North Laguna overlooking the blue Pacific and Catalina Island, this prime location provides stunning water views from nearly every room. Remodeled, expanded and re-imagined in 2004, more recent upgrades to this spectacular beach-close home include all new La Cantina folding glass doors from the living room to the expansive deck with glass panel railing, a downstairs covered patio with more water views, all new tile plank flooring inside and out, and new lush landscaping. Boasting an entry level primary bedroom with two additional bedrooms downstairs, custom kitchen with peninsula and adjacent outdoor coffee bar, and generous living rooms on both levels, this bright and airy home lives large. Other upgrades include an owned solar power system, smart home sound system, tankless water heater, heated master bath floors, oversized separate laundry room and custom stone slab showers. Outside, the tropical terraced yard offers a relaxing bubbling spa, cozy firepit lounge area, outdoor kitchen/barbecue and al fresco heated shower for a refreshing post-beach rinse. Complete with an attached two car garage and a generous driveway for additional cars, parking is a breeze. Providing the unique combination of Panoramic ocean views while still an easy stroll to the beach or village, this is the rare Laguna Beach Jewel that is often so hard to find.
