About This Home
Nestled near the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Laguna Beach’s desirable Portafina enclave, this stunning custom home is a true oasis offering exceptional privacy and unparalleled ocean views. Flashing sparkles of light reflecting off the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island’s iconic silhouette, and city lights twinkling after sunset are just some of the captivating visual delights that you will enjoy. Extensively remodeled and expanded, the modern showplace captures views from indoor and outdoor living spaces. Extending approximately 3,315 square feet, a phenomenal floorplan with four ensuite bedrooms and four- and one-half baths provides an impressive flow that accommodates easy entertaining, all with the ocean as a gorgeous backdrop. The main level is introduced by a large living room with vaulted ceiling and a stacked-stone fireplace flanked by custom built-ins. Walls of slideaway glass doors open this level to a generous heated deck where friends and loved ones will savor ever-changing ocean views. A lounge and glass-enclosed temperature-controlled wine room set the tone for elegant dinner parties in the dining room, which transitions seamlessly to a fabulous island kitchen. Chefs of all skill levels will appreciate the style and functionality of abundant Shaker cabinetry and stone countertops. A built-in refrigerator displays cabinet-matched panels, while a built-in coffee station is joined by a six-burner Wolf range and double oven. Truly one of a kind, the residence offers an elevated design aesthetic that is destined to stand the test of time. Wood flooring, coffered ceilings, designer lighting fixtures and top-tier finishes and millwork are showcased throughout. Guests will feel at home in a main-level bedroom that offers the convenience of flexibility. For the ultimate escape, the fireplace-warmed primary suite opens to sweeping ocean views on a private deck and reveals a sitting room and two walk-in closets. An oversized rain shower and a soaking tub enrich the primary bath. On par with the interior, the exterior of the home is exceptional. Curb appeal is redefined with impeccable landscaping and custom front-yard hardscaping. Parking for four is accommodated with two driveway spaces and a two-car garage. Victoria Beach and Woods Cove are nearby, and resorts, restaurants and shopping are minutes from home. Your dream of sharing a home of this caliber with the people you love can come true at this extraordinary Laguna Beach residence.
