About this home

The world class views from this home will inspire you everyday. From every bedroom; every common area; every family gathering place the sights, sounds, energy and experiences will change your life. The 180-degree+ viewscape is bookended by the ridgeline of Mystic Hills to the Northeast all the way over to San Clemente Island on the Southwest. And, in between, the "Seven Points" of North Laguna Beach starting at Main Beach and Rockpile all the way up to the North End of Emerald Bay. You'll see all three fireworks shows on the 4th of July (Laguna Beach, Emerald Bay and Irvine Cove). During the day, the sandy beaches, whitewater, crashing waves and Pacific Ocean spark the imagination with all the things you could do...or just sit back and enjoy watching it all unfurl. The red-tailed hawks soar above and around and beyond you all hours of the day. The evening sunsets out over Catalina Island and the Pacific are better experienced than described with words. The city lights below twinkle at night. There really is no one particular highlight -- the whole property is spectacular. The 2,430sf home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms -- with each bedroom enjoying its own private lounge deck and sitting area. The home also features a very private and secluded backyard, replete with mini lap pool, jacuzzi, lawn, patio and view terrace. Its carefully curated and tended garden and greenscape flourish year round. You can actually see the beach, ocean and sunsets from both the pool and jacuzzi. For those families with a penchant for growth, the backyard is ample enough to accomodate a 1,000sf ADU and still maintain all of its charm and lifestyle features. Inside, the materials, finishes, fixtures and appointments are thoughtful and cohesive -- combining elements appropriate to the original architecture & design with modern customizations and conveniences. The combination of views, privacy, backyard, pool, jacuzzi and patios that 1961 San Remo Dr. offers are extremely unique in its price segment. San Remo Drive is quiet, safe and inconspicuous off the main road on Temple Hills. Its central location within Laguna Beach provides easy access to all the beaches, schools, parks and recreation the city is so famous for.
