About This Home
This mid-century modern jewel boasts panoramic ocean and island views and was designed by the legendary local architect Charles Johnson for his personal residence. The home situated in the Victoria Beach neighborhood has breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, San Clemente Island, and a direct path to Victoria Beach!
