About This Home
As of March 2025Magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, shimmering white water, colorful sunsets and sparkling evening lights lend enchantment to every occasion at this upgraded architectural showplace in Laguna Beach. An exceptionally rare double lot allows ample room for an enviably private backyard at the rear of the home, extending the main level to an entertainer’s oasis with a step-down dining patio, fireplace, water wall, and a built-in BBQ bar. From cocktail parties, birthdays and holidays to relaxing on a wraparound deck, the open and airy residence elevates life’s special moments to an impressive new level. Grounds are beautifully maintained and display an inviting front yard with an attached two-car garage. A translucent glass entry door provides a modern introduction to the home, which spans approximately 2,152 square feet over two levels and features four bedrooms, three baths, and two living areas with ocean views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Vaulted ceilings, interior and exterior whole-house audio, motorized shades and high-end lighting fixtures add convenience and elegance throughout. Open-concept style graces a designer kitchen that is distinguished by quartz countertops and custom wood cabinetry, and stainless steel Monogram appliances ease prep for meals and parties. Refresh stylishly in the home’s luxurious primary suite, which is appointed with a spacious fireplace-warmed deck, and a spa-inspired bath with vessel sinks and lacquered wood cabinets. Tennis courts at Moulton Meadows Park are close to home, and the neighborhood is moments from hiking trails, highly acclaimed schools, the shops and restaurants of Laguna’s village, scenic coves and fabulous beaches. Arrange your personal tour and prepare to elevate your lifestyle to a whole new level today.
