Property Description
Commanding a promontory corner above Laguna Beach, this ultra rare single-level modern residence captures 270-degree vistas spanning the coastline, crashing whitewater, and Catalina Island silhouettes against sunset horizons. The architecture is deliberate, positioned to frame an arresting panorama: here, walls of frameless, pocketing glass effectively dissolve, rendering the line between interior and coastal atmosphere imperceptible. Inside, natural light washes across organic stone textures, rich millwork, and clean architectural proportions. The great room unfolds with an easy generosity, balanced by sculptural fireplaces and an intuitive flow toward the outdoors. At the home’s center, the kitchen offers functional precision with bespoke elements—anchored by custom warm-wood cabinetry, slab countertops, a tiered island, and full-height wine refrigeration. Acting as a private sanctuary, the primary suite occupies its own wing, complete with a fireplace, an adjacent studio space for work or wellness, and direct access to one of the many outdoor terraces where a sunken, infinity-edge plunge spa mirrors the open skies. Succulent landscaping and curated water elements abound throughout the grounds, leading inward toward a sheltered dining courtyard with a BBQ. Complemented by two additional secondary suites and an automated motor court, the residence delivers a restrained, uncompromising vision of California modernist living.
