About This Home
Modern Coastal Sanctuary with Ocean Views. Perched above the shimmering shoreline of Victoria Beach, this stunning Laguna Beach residence offers the perfect blend of contemporary design, comfort, and serenity. Nestled in the coveted Portafina neighborhood, this residence provides beautiful views of the Pacific, Catalina Island, and vibrant evening sunsets. Originally crafted by architect Timothy Wilkers, a student of the celebrated Chris Abel, this home reflects timeless California modernism, where glass, light, and natural materials come together in perfect balance. Enter through an inviting courtyard and walk into revealing sunlit interiors framed by walls of glass and high, airy ceilings. Open concept floor-plan from the designer kitchen to the dining and living areas. The gourmet kitchen features premium appliances, sleek cabinetry, and an oversized island ideal for gatherings. Step outside onto the expansive deck to take in the salty breeze and panoramic ocean backdrop. A guest suite with private courtyard access and a relaxing family room with fireplace, create flexible spaces for everyday living and unwinding. Upstairs, the primary suite captures the home’s full sense of tranquility, with skylights, a private ocean-view balcony, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom with dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated bath, completing the upper level.
