About This Home

Welcome to a Mark Singer-designed sanctuary where modern sophistication meets coastal serenity. Perched in the highly sought-after enclave of Woods Cove, this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 4,400 SF architectural marvel offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and the pristine coastline of Laguna Beach. From the moment you step through the front door, you're enveloped in floor-to-ceiling ocean vistas, soft coastal breezes, and refined finishes that evoke the indulgence of a five-star resort. Thoughtfully upgraded with newly installed and fully owned Tesla solar panels, the home offers cutting-edge energy efficiency without compromising luxury. The main level hosts a breathtaking primary suite with expansive walls of glass framing the endless seascape and twinkling city lights. The spa-inspired ensuite bath features heated floors, vaulted ceilings, and timeless elegance. A true chef’s kitchen awaits with quartzite countertops and backsplash, a large central island, and top-tier appliances including a Hestan range, Liebherr refrigerator, Cove dishwasher, and built-in two-drawer refrigerator. A spacious walk-in pantry adds convenience and style. Seamless indoor-outdoor living is at the heart of this home, with a tranquil water feature leading to a large entertaining deck—ideal for sunset dinners or lively gatherings under the stars. The mid-level offers a second living area for entertaining, complete with a built-in projector, expansive ocean-facing deck, and a climate-controlled 800-bottle wine cellar—perfect for movie nights or intimate tastings. Each secondary bedroom suite is a private retreat, featuring its own terrace, entrance, and coastal views. One room also doubles as a creative studio or home office. A distinctive staircase adds architectural flair, capturing sunlight and ocean sparkle by day and golden sunsets by night. Practical luxury continues with a generous three-car garage and a full driveway, ideal for guests and car collectors. And with fully owned Tesla solar, you’ll enjoy sustainable living with reduced energy costs—without sacrificing comfort. This is more than a home; it's a lifestyle—a rare opportunity to live above the waves in timeless style, just moments from world-class beaches, restaurants, boutique shopping, and the vibrant Laguna Beach art scene.
