About this home

This incredible Laguna Beach oceanfront estate, designed by renowned architect Chris Abel, offers a rare combination of size, architectural excellence, privacy, and a deeded, roped-off private shoreline. As you enter the motor court through an electronic gate, you are immediately captivated by lush landscaping, breathtaking ocean views, and ample parking. Inside the main residence, panoramic ocean vistas greet you from the living room, professional-grade kitchen, and dining area. The dramatic post-and-beam design, complemented by oversized windows at every angle, creates a stunning visual experience. Directly off the living room, the first of six white-water ocean-view decks invites you to enjoy al fresco dining or take in the sunset year-round. Above the expansive living space, an oversized loft—ideal for an office or bonus room—includes a full bathroom. The primary suite features a spacious bedroom with direct deck access, an oversized bathroom, a walk-in closet, a sitting area, and a private office. Three additional guest bedrooms, an oceanfront deck, and a large laundry room complete the main residence. Connected by a dramatic spiral staircase, the guest house sits just above the sand, offering two bedrooms, one bathroom, a family room with a dramatic fireplace, a full kitchen, and a large oceanfront patio. From here, private stairs lead to the lowest deck and an exclusive sandy retreat. A truly rare feature in California, the roped-off private beach area allows for exclusive gatherings, barbecues, pets, and even adult libations—luxuries typically prohibited on public beaches.

Condition Rating
Good

This oceanfront estate, built in 1980, is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, requiring no immediate renovations. The main kitchen features professional-grade stainless steel appliances, solid countertops, and well-kept flat-panel wood cabinetry, indicating a significant update likely within the last 15-25 years. While the cabinet style isn't ultra-modern, the quality and condition are excellent. The property boasts beautiful hardwood flooring, exposed beam ceilings, and large windows, all in very good condition. Although bathroom images are not provided, the overall high standard of maintenance and the quality of the visible kitchen components suggest a consistent level throughout the home. Major systems appear functional and well-preserved, aligning with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years (for key areas like the kitchen) and being move-in ready with minimal wear and tear.
