Property Description

STUNNING 180-DEGREE OCEAN VIEWS, PRIME LOCATION, PRISTINE CONDITION & MORE! Meticulously designed with exceptional attention to detail, this remarkable North Laguna residence was completely rebuilt and reimagined in 2021. The home offers 4 bedrooms, a dedicated office, 3.5 bathrooms, a 2-car garage, and an expansive 5-car driveway. Upon entry, abundant natural light, elegant, honed limestone flooring, and breathtaking ocean vistas set the tone. The chef’s kitchen features premium Wolf appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, sunken 5-burner range, warming oven, wine refrigerator, honed marble countertops, quartz backsplash, custom cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry. The kitchen opens to a stunning great room with soaring ceilings, expansive coastline and Catalina views, a dramatic slab basalt fireplace, and automatic shades. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home includes over 1,000 sq ft of outdoor entertainment space. Expansive La Cantina doors frame the Pacific Ocean, while the adjacent 388 sq ft covered outdoor pavilion creates a natural extension of the home, complete with a fireplace, recessed TV, dining area, BBQ, and hot tub flowing directly to the backyard lawn. The primary suite offers dedicated climate control, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with heated floors, a soaking tub and oversized walk-in shower. The lower level includes three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a private ocean-view suite with its own en-suite bath. Two secondary bedrooms enjoy ocean views, while the hall bath showcases beautiful travertine slab finishes. Rich Australian eucalyptus flooring and a separate laundry room with sink complete the lower level. A rare coastal luxury, the property also includes approximately 490 sq ft of dedicated storage for recreational gear and seasonal items. Offering extraordinary privacy and craftsmanship, this exceptional residence captures panoramic ocean, coastline, Catalina, and sunset views from nearly every vantage point. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Perched above the coastline and only one block from iconic beaches including Crescent Bay and Shaw’s Cove, this home delivers an unparalleled lifestyle with walkable access to renowned restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and convenient proximity to Laguna Beach’s premier hiking and mountain biking trails. Welcome Home!
