About This Home
Experience the best of coastal luxury at 8 Baffin Bay, a newly renovated gem within the prestigious guard-gated community of Crystal Cove. Set on a rare 7,600± sq. ft. pie-shaped lot, this 5-bedroom, 5-bath residence offers elegance, privacy, and sweeping ocean and Catalina Island views. A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings and a gracefully curved staircase. The open-concept great room, dining area, and family space flow effortlessly together, framed by a wall of glass that captures the Pacific horizon. The designer kitchen is a true centerpiece — featuring a porcelain-slab island, Wolf 6-burner range with dual ovens and grill, wine cooler, and custom cabinetry — blending both beauty and functionality. Two main-level bedroom suites provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or fitness space. Upstairs, the primary retreat offers resort-style living with a private terrace overlooking white-water views to Palos Verdes. The spa-like bath includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, makeup station, and a generous walk-in closet illuminated by natural light. The backyard’s peaceful ambiance and open vistas create the perfect setting for gatherings or quiet evenings. Residents of Crystal Cove enjoy 24-hour guard-gated security and access to the Canyon Club, offering a resort pool, spa, fitness center, tennis, and sports courts. With private access to Crystal Cove State Beach and close proximity to Fashion Island, Laguna Beach, and world-class dining and shopping, this home defines refined coastal living.
