About This Home

As of January 2025

Discover a world where every day feels like a vacation at this stunning oceanfront haven in South Laguna Beach. Nestled above the golden sands of Thousand Steps Beach, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat offers dramatic views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and endless stretches of coastline. From sunrise to sunset, the soothing sounds of the waves and sweeping panoramas of the horizon create a tranquil backdrop for your coastal escape. Step inside to a home that effortlessly blends modern elegance with laid-back beachside charm. Sunlight floods the open-plan living spaces, accentuating the home’s fresh white color palette and wide-plank floors. The spacious kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, sleek stone countertops, and premium appliances – perfect for preparing sunset dinners or hosting intimate gatherings. Expansive glass railings on every balcony provide uninterrupted ocean views, allowing the beauty of the coastline to flow right into your living spaces. The luxurious primary suite is a personal sanctuary, complete with a private balcony to take in the morning breeze, a spa-like bath with a soaking tub and separate shower, and a generous walk-in closet with built-ins. Two additional bedrooms share this floor, while a fourth bedroom on the main level is ideal for guests. The top floor is where relaxation meets entertainment, featuring a light-filled living room with a custom fireplace and wet bar that opens to an expansive oceanfront deck. Here, watch as sailboats drift by and the sky melts into fiery sunsets, creating picture-perfect moments every evening. With the charming boutiques, galleries, and renowned restaurants of South Laguna just moments away, everything you need is at your fingertips – but this home’s peaceful, scenic setting will make you never want to leave.
