Description

Perched above the shoreline in South Laguna Village, this newly remodeled coastal residence captures sweeping ocean and Catalina Island views, offering a refined yet relaxed expression of Laguna Beach living just moments from iconic Thousand Steps Beach. Spanning approximately 2,055 square feet, the three-bedroom, two-and-one-quarter-bath home has been thoughtfully reimagined to balance modern comfort with timeless coastal character. Natural light welcomes you on the entry level, where a gracious foyer opens to a generous family room enhanced by custom built-ins and an easy indoor-outdoor connection. Two well-appointed secondary bedrooms are located on this level—one opening directly to the backyard—along with a combined bath and laundry area designed for both function and flow. Upstairs, the home unfolds into a bright, open living environment defined by vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings and effortless entertaining spaces. The designer kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring white inset cabinetry, quartz countertops, a striking bookmatched quartz backsplash, new Thermador appliances, and a center island with bar seating. A pass-through serving window opens to an expansive ocean-view deck—ideal for al fresco dining, sunset gatherings, and coastal evenings overlooking the Pacific. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and a fireplace-warmed living room finished with classic Laguna Beach siding, opening to a second balcony that frames coastline views and includes stairs leading down to the side yard. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat, capturing ocean vistas and offering a sitting area, flexible open space ideal for an office or private lounge, and an ensuite bath with marble countertops. Throughout the home, white oak hardwood flooring, custom white oak cabinetry, curated hardware, and designer lighting create a cohesive, understated aesthetic. Additional highlights include a freshly painted exterior, all-new casement windows, shutters, charming wood flower boxes, and a two-car attached garage with a custom mahogany wood door. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this South Laguna residence embodies relaxed coastal elegance—where panoramic views, thoughtful design, and proximity to the beach come together in one of Laguna Beach’s most desirable seaside settings.
