Truly one of the rarest locations of all beachfront homes in Laguna Beach. When it comes to location, there really isn’t—and never will be—anything like this property. The home is situated on an extended curve of the coastline that allows for one of a kind spectacular unobstructed views of the white sands of Main Beach and the cliffs of Heisler Park, as well as Crescent and Emerald Bay. Breathtaking views of Catalina along with the picturesque evening sunsets are a prelude to the presentation of city lights that can be seen from almost every room in this exquisite home.

This location renders it one of the most unique properties ever to enter the Laguna Beach real estate market—and what’s found inside is just as impressive. Rare and exotic materials and finishes, mosaic-inlaid tile entrance leading to artist-designed sculptured glass front door, 2 story ceilings, wine cellar and decadent guest quarters are a handful of elements that contribute to the home’s opulent esthetic, while custom works of art—including mosaic outdoor entertainment areas & gourmet full kitchen—establish a warm ambiance that’s quintessentially relaxed Laguna Beach luxury. Built nine years ago, the home looks as though it’s brand new incorporating a coveted side-by-side 4 car garage.
