About This Home
As of February 2024Welcome to 905 Canyon View, a custom Laguna Beach abode that blends contemporary refinement with casual seaside living. Artful finishes were carefully selected during the extensive renovation of this exquisite residence. Upon entering you are greeted by panoramic ocean, Catalina and white-water views which can be admired from all levels and all bedrooms. The naturally illuminated living and dining area flows seamlessly into an opulent kitchen graced with brilliant stone countertops, built-in Sub Zero refrigerator, Wolf double oven and 6 burner stovetop with griddle. Oversized and perfectly oriented windows maximize every inch of lush greenery, ocean and coastline views. The lines between inside and outside seem indiscernible with the expansive deck space that overlooks Pacific blues. The middle level offers a spacious bonus room and bar, guest bedroom, and the luxe primary suite. The home’s bottom level features a rare guest suite, accessible from both inside and the home's exterior which serves as the perfect mother-in-law’s quarters, studio, or private guest suite. It includes a living room with a fireplace, kitchenette, and full bedroom with designated bathroom. There is no home directly below the property which allows for unmatched privacy, minimal rooftop sight-lines and an abundant valley of views. The sweeping back yard is a rarity in Laguna Beach, showcasing a private enchanting garden, citrus trees, serene water features, and multiple lounge areas shaded by mature trees. As the sun sets, sights of golden sand, boats cruising, waves gently crashing, and city-light sparkle are juxtaposed against a rustic coastline for sensory overload. Minutes away from the best Southern California beaches, top-tier schools and the liveliness of downtown Laguna, 905 Canyon View presents the best of a California Riviera lifestyle and the opportunity to live every day as a vacation.
