About This Home

As of January 2025

Beachfront living awaits at this modern Laguna Beach home, where dramatic ocean, beach, coastline, Catalina Island and whitewater views are experienced from every story of this three-level design. Enjoy private access to the sands of Thousand Steps Beach as well as a setting near the restaurants, shops and galleries of South Laguna. Open and filled with natural light, the floorpan reinterprets sophisticated elegance with a warm, white color theme, light wide-plank flooring, cozy view-oriented window seats, classic crown molding, a dramatic multi-tiered curving staircase, and custom lighting fixtures. Beyond a gated entry patio, the light and airy home features a main level that is primed for entertaining with a family room and formal dining room that flow easily to the kitchen. Stone countertops and a full glass-tile backsplash harmonize with custom white cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, open shelving, peninsula bar, and appliances including a double oven, warming drawer and five-burner cooktop. One bedroom and bath are also located on this floor. Upstairs, two secondary bedrooms join a lux primary suite with sweeping ocean and coastline views, a covered view balcony, sitting area, walk-in closet with built-ins, a soaking tub, separate shower and two sinks. The third level showcases a large living room and an even more impressive view deck. A custom fireplace with raised hearth, a wet bar and a built-in media center distinguish the living room, while the expansive deck captures views of gorgeous sunsets, crashing waves and passing sailboats. An attached two-car garage features extra space for storage, and the side yard hosts a gated carport for two vehicles.
