About This Home

As of September 2024

Experience luxury coastal living at its finest with captivating panoramic ocean and Catalina sunset views from the moment you walk through the door. Built by the famous California architect J. Carson Bowler, this custom home sits on a large street-to-street lot and features luxurious finishes that enhance the modern design. Located just above the beautiful West Beach in South Laguna, you can enjoy a quick morning walk on the sand or a lovely evening stroll. An entertainer’s delight, this home offers four patios as well as an extra-large courtyard to take in the fresh coastal breeze as you enjoy the expansive ocean views. As you walk into the living room, you will notice the floor-to-ceiling French doors leading out to a large patio and a fireplace with built-in seating on each side. The stunning sit-down white-water ocean views are incredible along the Laguna Beach coastline. The chef’s kitchen boasts stunning marble countertops that seamlessly continue up the backsplash wall, hardwood cabinetry with soft-close drawers, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, and vent hood. The dining room is just off the kitchen, with large picture windows showcasing the ocean views and a spacious patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee. All three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, one with its own retreat and another with a private patio, and all bathrooms boast magazine-worthy finishes. This spacious floor plan also features a media/den room and an office. Close to beaches, shops, and restaurants, this coastal dream home is a must-see.
