About This Home
As of July 2025Elegance and sophistication are blended at this luxurious Nellie Gail estate in Laguna Hills. Nearly 20,000 s.f., grounds are lush and private, with a backyard showcasing a rock-rimmed lagoon-style pool and spa, a large waterfall, dual covered patios and a built-in BBQ island. Located on a desirable cul-de-sac street, the Mediterranean-influenced residence reveals a 2-story entry with spiral staircase and polished limestone tile floors leading to a step-down living room with coffered ceiling, and a formal dining room with French doors opening to a patio. Interior French doors introduce an executive office and library with extensive custom cabinets, and a fireplace-warmed family room with built-in entertainment center opens to a remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, tile backsplash, a large center island, custom cabinetry with ornate custom molding, nook, and deluxe appliances including a built-in refrigerator, 6-burner cooktop, warming oven and a wine and beverage cooler. Approx. 5,000 s.f., the open 5-bedroom, 5-bath design is highlighted by a main-level bedroom, back staircase, high ceilings, plantation shutters, designer paint, patterned carpet, intercom, central vacuum system, and an attached 3-car garage. The second floor is home to a versatile large fifth bedroom with an entertainment center, and a master suite with fireplace, two walk-in closet, updated bath, and a spacious balcony with panoramic canyon views.
