Elevated above the sparkling sands of Victoria Beach, 741 Marlin stands as a masterfully designed retreat in Laguna Beach’s highly desirable Portafina neighborhood. Built in 1982 by architect Timothy Wilkers, a protégé of renowned architect Chris Abel, this transitional contemporary residence harmonizes clean, modern lines with warm wood accents and expansive walls of glass, capturing panoramic ocean vistas and flooding every room with natural light.

A gated courtyard welcomes you to an oversized pivot door that opens to a luminous entryway. The main level flows effortlessly, featuring an open-concept kitchen adjoining a cozy lounge, a vaulted-ceiling living room that extends to a sun-drenched deck, and a guest bedroom with direct courtyard access. The kitchen, appointed with high-end appliances, sleek cabinetry, and a generous island, invites effortless entertaining both indoors and out. A separate family room with fireplace complements a private sauna and standing shower, crafting a tranquil, spa-like sanctuary.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene escape, graced with multiple skylights, a spacious walk-in closet, a dual-vanity bathroom, and a private balcony framing breathtaking ocean views. Two additional guest bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed bathroom, completing the elegant layout.

There is potential to add a Jr. ADU above the garage, providing additional space for family, guests, or rental possibilities.

Located minutes from scenic hiking trails, Moulton Meadows Park, pristine beaches, and Downtown Laguna’s shops and galleries, 741 Marlin is a rare opportunity to experience elevated coastal living, thoughtful architectural design, and sweeping views—all in one exceptional home.
