About This Home

As of May 2016

Perched on a dramatic hillside in Laguna Beach, this exceptionally upgraded residence is enriched by the hypnotic sound of breaking waves and priceless white-water, ocean, coastline and Catalina Island views from nearly every room. Moments from West Street and Thousand Steps beaches, the bright and contemporary design hosts vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, an abundance of French doors that open to view patios and balconies, hardwood flooring and designer carpet, and an impressive 2-door entry. An open 2-story floorplan of approx. 3,224 s.f. places living areas on the main floor, including a formal living room with balcony on one side, an ocean-view patio on the other, and a travertine-finished fireplace. A travertine fireplace with raised room-length hearth also complements a family room that opens to a breakfast nook and freshly remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A trio of en suite bedrooms is accompanied by 4 baths, with the most impressive reserved for a master suite with patio, sitting area, jetted tub and multi-head shower with seat. The custom home neighbors a hiking trail and offers an idyllic rural setting close to Laguna’s galleries, restaurants and boutiques.
