About This Home
A rare combination in Laguna Beach: Ocean and coastline views, approximately 2,600 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, and a large, flat grassy backyard—all in the highly sought-after Top of the World neighborhood, walking distance to Top of the World elementary school.
Renovated and redesigned in 2022, this beautifully reimagined home combines contemporary design with comfortable coastal living. The open, light-filled floor plan features four spacious bedrooms and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, with inviting indoor-outdoor spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
The primary suite is a private retreat with its own ocean-view deck overlooking ocean views and the coastline—an ideal spot for sunsets and cool coastal breezes.
One of the home's standout features is its rare, large and usable flat grassy backyard with room for a future pool, shaded by mature trees and offering exceptional space for entertaining, play, pets, or simply relaxing in a private outdoor setting. A peaceful, enclosed front courtyard provides another inviting outdoor space, while an outdoor shower is perfect after a day at the beach.
Additional features include central air conditioning, a finished two-car garage, generous side-yard storage, and included refrigerator, washer and dryer.
Located close to Laguna Beach schools, Alta Laguna Park, and miles of hiking and biking trails, with the beaches, restaurants, galleries and boutiques of downtown Laguna Beach just minutes away, 3078 Zell offers something increasingly difficult to find in Laguna Beach: ocean views, substantial living space, a beautifully renovated home, and a genuinely usable backyard—all in one property.
