About This Home

As of February 2023

Designed by acclaimed Laguna Beach architect, Greg Abel, this iconic home features mid-century-modern lines with craftsman elements and a nod to the contemporary residential architecture of the Pacific Islands. 836 Diamond is a place where setting and structure meet in perfect harmony. Sited on an oversized 15,000 sqft parcel at the end of a quiet street, this home offers unparalleled proximity and privacy. An elegant and effortless design features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in an open, flexible floor plan. Vaulted ceilings with exposed finished beams highlight an airy, sophisticated living space, while floor-to-ceiling windows & retractable glass doors open to stunning Catalina, ocean & canyon views. A fully renovated kitchen features a Thermador appliance suite with 48” refrigerator and an oversized 6-burner stove and double-oven. An expansive deck on the view side of the home is accessible through a series of glass doors and invites indoor and outdoor living. Off the deck is a large grassy area with fruit trees and a path that leads to a private built-in spa. Inside, a floating staircase leads up to a relaxing master with private ocean-view deck. Downstairs is a bedroom, bathroom and living area. This flexible space could be used as a secondary living area or mother in law suite. This beautifully maintained property features a ground-level entry and direct garage access. Long on style and privacy, with features too abundant to list, this dwelling truly is… A Diamond.
