About This Home

As of May 2021

This once-in-a-generation Top of the World home is so rich in features and quality, it leaves nothing on your wish list. Located on the lot hand-picked by the developer for its size, privacy, and panoramic views of the Saddleback Mountain, this five-bedroom, 4.5 bath property offers approximately 3,650 sq.ft. of living space on a nearly 10,000 sq.ft. lot. Extensively remodeled in 2013 including new plumbing and electrical, this privately gated property offers luxury and space for family and friends. Naming just a few of the highlights: Reclaimed 100+ year-old hickory floors, Douglas Fir custom built-in cabinets and shelving throughout, Coffered ceilings, whole-house sound system, La Cornue dual-oven range anchoring the chef’s kitchen, warming drawer, full-size Thermador freezer and full-size fridge, Bosh dishwasher, farmhouse sink, and a large center island with breakfast bar. The open living and dining room with stone-finished fireplace and two-story ceilings beg to host a party. The family room opens to the kitchen with an approximately 800-bottle temperature-controlled wine room just down the hall. Outside, paradise awaits with a sparkling pool, pergola-covered outdoor kitchen and dining area, a plethora of brilliant water-resistant plants and, of course, the spectacular views. Sacrifices do not need to be considered, as is typically the case when buying in Laguna Beach – you can have it all.
