History meets modern luxury at this one-of-a-kind coastal retreat pool home in Laguna Beach with breathtaking ocean views, where an extensive complete renovation was completed in 2020. Offering unparalleled privacy and panoramic coastal vistas from every room, this estate sets a new standard for sophisticated coastal living. Spanning 180o of ocean, Catalina and sunset vistas from its setting at the end of a cul-de-sac that is an easy stroll to Victoria Beach and the Montage Resort. Christened Ciela del Mar–“Heaven of the Sea,” by the original owner/inventor in 1937, the property is meticulously designed and rebuilt with top quality while leaving an irreplaceable uniqueness in certain maintained historical enhancements. A living area defined by white oak beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and panoramic ocean vistas is the heart of the home. The main room opens to a large limestone patio with a saltwater pool and spa overlooking mesmerizing ocean vistas, all with complete privacy in an ambiance embellished with special lighting, multiple fountains and an outdoor shower. Discover bespoke amenities, including Paul Ferrante custom lighting, a Control4 smart-home system, integrated speakers, advanced security features, whole-house water purification, and custom alder wood doors and windows throughout with custom shades and draperies. An elevator connects all levels, ensuring effortless access throughout the home. Kitchen includes a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher and quartzite countertops, while the dining room hosts a temperature-controlled wine cellar and opens seamlessly to a protected patio via a full-wall glass pocket door. Enjoy hosting outdoor dinner parties with heaters, an enchanting original stone fireplace, beautiful plantings and a jasmine trellis creating the ideal atmosphere. Perfectly arranged, the floor plan lives like a single-story design with a secondary primary suite and an office on the main level. The top floor reveals a private primary retreat with lofty ceilings, ocean views and a fireplace. The primary bath shines with marble finishes, a luxurious ocean-view steam shower, and a large walk in closet. An attached two-car garage with ample guest parking will make all feel welcome.
