Description

Perched high above the Pacific in the hills of Laguna Beach, this exceptional 1964 mid-century modern residence offers commanding panoramic views of the coastline and Catalina Island. A rare and beautifully preserved architectural offering, the home embodies the essence of classic mid-century design with its clean lines, expansive walls of glass, and rich use of old-growth redwood. Thoughtfully sited to harmonize with its natural surroundings, the residence reflects the principles of organic architecture and effortless coastal living. Sunlit interiors, soaring ceilings, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow create an environment that is both architecturally significant and refined in its livability. The home features three bedrooms, two and one-half baths, along with a dedicated office. One bedroom is currently utilized as a fitness studio but could be utilized for an addtional home office, providing flexibility for modern living. Warm redwood paneling extends throughout much of the interior, complemented by custom built-in teak cabinetry in the dining area, creating a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic. The main living room is defined by vaulted ceilings, exposed structural beams, and original redwood detailing, all set against a dramatic ocean backdrop with Catalina Island in the distance. Open-concept living spaces transition effortlessly to expansive glass walls and sliding doors, inviting natural light, ocean breezes, and striking sunset views into the home. Private living quarters offer tranquil retreats with a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Outdoor spaces—including view decks and a secluded garden patio—appearing to extend the living experience, ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Lush landscaping and mature palms, visible from nearly every room, provide a sense of privacy and serenity. A coveted southwest orientation captures optimal coastline vistas from the main level and two of the bedrooms. Located just moments from Laguna Beach’s renowned boutiques, art galleries, fine dining, stunning beach and scenic coastal trails, this prominent residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic mid-century modern masterpiece in one of Southern California’s most sought-after coastal enclaves.

    "Free trolley and local vehicle transport is free for locals and visitors and makes transportation easy throughout the city, but influx of visitors in warmer months heavily impacts traffic. As a local, riding a bike is easier to get around in than a vehicle when it’s 68° or above."

    "Laguna has a lot of charm, good food and shopping, a variety of coffee shops/cafes, and mostly friendly people. Overall dog friendly but public spaces like side walks, grassy areas, and roads could be better (and the city is slowly but surely updating). "

    "Many families in the area, good schools. Community is rather safe for kids. But mainly the streets aren’t always safe as there are many bad and reckless drivers that come through laguna. That would be my greatest concern as a parent in Laguna. Driver’s education and safety for pedestrians and cyclists "
