About This Home

As of July 2021

Moments from beautiful parks, adventurous hiking trails and an award-winning school, this superbly upgraded residence offers a sought-after setting in Laguna Beach’s Top of the World neighborhood. A spacious homesite of approx. 8,250 s.f. provides ample room for a large backyard patio that is perfect for al fresco entertaining and dining. An oversized trellis introduces a sprawling lawn, and there is more than enough room to create a future pool and a private outdoor oasis. Fashionable finishes and preferred appointments are on display throughout the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, which extends approx. 1,916 s.f. and lives like a single-level design with all bedrooms on the main floor, including a wing for guest rooms and the second bath. This spacious level reveals a living room, formal dining room and a fully appointed kitchen. Enjoy French oak flooring, high ceilings, and a versatile bonus room (potential fourth bedroom) and office. French doors open a secondary bedroom to the backyard, and the guest bath is newly remodeled and hosts a double vanity. For the ultimate in comfort, the elegant primary suite accesses a bamboo zen garden and showcases a newly upgraded spa-inspired bath with oversized shower, Carerra marble tile and a double vanity. Top of the World is just minutes from the famous beaches and coves of Laguna Beach. Explore galleries, boutiques and a unique blend of restaurants in downtown’s village, and head up the coastline to Crystal Cove, Newport Beach and Corona del Mar for even more fun.
