From breathtaking, 180-degree whitewater, coastline and Catalina Island views to its Cape Cod-inspired architecture, this versatile and spacious home captures the timeless charm of Laguna Beach. Just one row from the sand, the blufftop residence showcases panoramic vistas that span the coastline and beyond.

A powder room is also featured on this floor, and a fully appointed kitchen displays white cabinetry, Silestone quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, an imported Blanco sink, and direct access to an attached two-car garage. Wood flooring enriches the main level, while abundant built-in cabinetry and storage are enjoyed throughout. Custom craftsmanship is evident in the beamed ceilings, wainscoting, shiplap, white wall panels, and crown molding. The lower level hosts three bedrooms and two baths, including an en suite with bonus space perfect for a studio, office, or creative retreat. Two additional bedrooms boast stunning ocean views, with one offering a wood-burning fireplace with gas starters. A secondary entrance and access to an ocean-view patio further enhance the home's versatility.
