Laguna Beach Home Sale

Tranquility AND Proximity... Just steps from the sand and Crescent Bay Park in north Laguna Beach, this meticulously rebuilt and remodeled home boasts serene panoramic ocean views from both levels. Offering a modern, upscale beach house vibe, the open and bright residence captures gorgeous whitewater vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Dana Point Headlands and evening lights. A retreat of tranquility and privacy, the Mid Century design was originally designed by Herb Brownell, and reimagined by Gallo Builders and top local interior designer Michael Fullen. Appx. 3,722 SF, the impressively sized home elevates curb appeal with beautifully maintained landscaping, a 3-car garage with individual glass roll-up doors, ample driveway parking, and a gated entry patio that is quiet, serene and welcoming. Lightly enjoyed by its current owners as a vacation home and never rented, the residence features nearly 2,000 SF across three outdoor living areas. Indoors, the fireplace-warmed living room and adjacent dining room open via a 25' Fleetwood sliding-glass door to an ocean-view 40'-wide deck. A massive island with seating is topped with a single slab of Carrara marble in a chef-inspired kitchen that hosts Caesarstone countertops, gray Shaker cabinetry, a solid Carrara marble farmhouse sink and a pantry. Thermador appliances include a 6-burner cooktop with griddle, cabinet-matched built-in refrigerator, and a full-height 80-bottle wine refrigerator. Enjoy open-beam vaulted ceilings, skylights, oak flooring, commercial-grade fire sprinklers throughout, and custom closet systems in all bedrooms. Five bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths include a top-level ocean-view primary suite with deck access, walk-in closet and lux bath. One bedroom makes a great office on the upper floor, and one en-suite bedroom opens to the lower level’s ocean-view patio and fire pit. A bonus/media room with fireplace opens to the backyard and is adjacent to a versatile gym and a large laundry room with sink and cabinetry.
