This 1972 mid-century modern estate is in move-in ready condition. The property features a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the bathrooms have been updated with a blend of vintage and contemporary styles.

The property commands breathtaking white-water ocean vistas stretching to Catalina and San Clemente Islands, showcased through floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive viewing terraces.
The estate features a rare combination of a pool, spa, and lush lawn, complemented by an upper terrace with potential for an ADU, providing significant value-add flexibility.
The secluded hillside setting results in a multi-level layout that may pose accessibility challenges for buyers seeking single-level living or those with mobility concerns.
While the home features modern updates, the 1970s construction may require specialized maintenance or further capital investment to modernize original structural systems and components.
Commanding one of Laguna Beach’s most breathtaking vantage points, this rare mid-century modern estate unfolds with sweeping white-water vistas that stretch beyond Catalina to San Clemente Island. A secluded hillside setting elevates its presence, while appx. 2,430 square feet of inspired design and modern comfort create a coastal retreat of uncommon distinction. Upon entry, a private lower wing reveals two spacious bedrooms, a shared lounge, direct patio access, and a beautifully designed bath where vintage-inspired tile meets contemporary elegance. Ascend to the main level and discover a gourmet kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry that flows seamlessly into the dining area, enriched by a striking colored glass window. Floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring ceilings frame the living room, where a dramatic wood-burning fireplace anchors the space and glass doors open to an expansive terrace with unforgettable ocean panoramas. Outdoors, resort-style living awaits with a sparkling pool and spa, lush lawn, and multiple terraces designed for sunset dining, entertaining, or quiet reflection. The upper terrace presents potential for an ADU, adding flexibility for a private guest suite or detached office, all set against extraordinary coastal views. Mature landscaping, tree-lined privacy, and a spacious two-car garage complete this timeless mid-century modern sanctuary—an estate that embodies the true essence of Laguna Beach living.
