Experience coastal luxury at its finest in this meticulously reimagined Laguna Beach residence. Positioned to capture breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and San Clemente Island, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home perfectly balances modern industrial design with high-end sophistication. Every inch of this property has been thoughtfully upgraded, from the striking new steel roof and Mulholland steel fencing to the custom walnut doors and wide-plank white oak hardwoods that flow throughout the upper level.
The heart of the home resides upstairs in the light-filled ocean view great room, which features a marble-mantel gas fireplace and an industrial steel ceiling fan. Indoor-outdoor living is perfected here via a wall-to-wall accordion sliding door that opens completely to a newer glass-enclosed upstairs patio, creating a seamless transition for entertaining against the backdrop of world-class sunsets. The adjacent chef’s kitchen is a showpiece of functional design, anchored by stunning porcelain waterfall countertops and backsplash, soft-close craftsman cabinetry, and a full suite of premium LG appliances. The thoughtful layout places the primary suite on the upper level for maximum privacy and impact. This sanctuary boasts a custom walk-in California Closet and a spa-like bathroom featuring a floor-to-ceiling glass-enclosed wet room with a soaking tub and walk-in shower, floating dual vanities, and the luxury of heated tile floors.
The lower level houses the two spacious secondary bedrooms, providing a quiet and separate space for guests or family. These bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bathroom featuring a dual-sink vanity, floating cabinetry, and premium Italian wave tile. For added convenience, the home includes a dedicated interior laundry room featuring a side-by-side washer and dryer setup.
Beyond the aesthetic upgrades, the home offers peace of mind with modern infrastructure, including an upgraded AC condenser, newer radiant forced-air ducting, a tankless water. Ideally situated just steps from the amenities of Moulton Meadows Park—a local favorite for its renowned mountain biking and hiking trails, dog park, and sports courts—this residence places the best of Laguna at your doorstep. Perched just up the hill from the pristine sands of Woods Cove and Victoria Beach, the home offers an unparalleled turn-key lifestyle in one of Southern California’s most coveted coastal enclaves.
