About This Home

As of June 2021

This is the one you have been waiting for… Arguably one of the most prime locations in North Laguna, peacefully situated at the end of a small cul-de-sac, this fantastic home sits on a street to street lot where picturesque Catalina sunsets are flanked by expansive panoramic views from Dana Point to Palos Verdes and beyond. This home was custom built by and for it’s owner in 1994, and has been loved and cherished by his family ever since. And while that year may have been the peak of "The Rachel", unlike Jennifer Anniston's hairdo, this home has not gone out of style! Soaring ceilings on both levels make this lovely home timeless. There is no guessing here... a practical and easy open floorplan, light and bright is an understatement, spacious living areas and bedrooms are abundant, and did I mention the soaring ceilings! Good vibes are easily found around every corner of this beloved home; the breathtaking views will capture your interest upon walking through the front door, sit down views from both levels, floor to ceiling windows, plus - take a peek at the photos again - two large view decks that create so much enjoyable outdoor living space to entertain all of your "Friends". The main floor is the top floor, and can easily feel like single level living for any couple. The master bedroom suite has two walk in closets, and it’s own private garden off the bathroom. Meander downstairs to find three additional bedrooms and large living room - perfect space for the kids or guests. The lower level en suite bedroom opens up onto one of the aforementioned view patios; if you invite guests, they may never leave! There is an abundance of storage space in this home, and a large laundry room downstairs that can accommodate all of your utilitarian needs. This property is a must see - perfectly livable as is, yet room to make some minor aesthetic changes to fit your own 2021 style. Located a stones throw from one of the most popular hiking trails in all of Laguna Beach, and perched above the most beautiful rocky coves and sandy beaches of North Laguna, this home is truly one of a kind and not to be missed!
