About This Home

As of January 2019

Contemporary styled with walls of glass, 657 Buena Vista occupies a prime view location above the curving Laguna Beach coastline. Clean lines, open spaces, separate guest quarters, and a picturesque entry courtyard are hallmarks of this architecturally distinctive home. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area, and master bedroom seamlessly capture magnificent whitewater, Catalina Island, and coastal nightlight views. Outdoor spaces - a series of decks, patio and yard space - complement the open interiors. A value price allows room for the new owner to put their own stamp on this trophy property in a neighborhood of properties reaching prices of several million dollars more.
