Property is move-in ready.
The property is move-in ready and features a high-end chef's kitchen equipped with premium Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Bosch appliances and white granite countertops. While the original structure dates to 1975, the interior has undergone significant updates, including hardwood flooring, modern light fixtures, and contemporary bathroom finishes. It meets the 'good' criteria as it is well-maintained with updated major components, though the architectural style and some structural elements reflect its original build date rather than a full recent 'studs-out' renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 24263, living area = 4800.
Elementary School: Top Of The World Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Thurston Middle School (9/10). High School: Laguna Beach High School (9/10).
The property commands breathtaking, unobstructed vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and city lights from nearly every room, situated in the prestigious Temple Hills enclave.
Built in 1975, the existing residence may require extensive modernization or a complete teardown to align with the high-end luxury standards of the neighborhood.
Realizing the property's full potential through the included architectural plans will require a substantial additional financial investment and a lengthy permitting and construction timeline.
Design Review Board (DRB) Approved Plans for an award winning 7500 sq. ft. New Home. Perched atop one of Laguna Beach's most prestigious vantage points, 2155 Temple Hills Drive offers a rare blend of serenity, architectural pedigree, and breathtaking ocean views from nearly every room. Positioned on approximately one-half acre, this expansive residence showcases panoramic vistas of the Pacific, Catalina Island, and unforgettable sunsets. The current home's thoughtful design features an open main level with soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, and walls of glass that seamlessly frame the coastline. The chef's kitchen, equipped with Sub Zero, Wolf, and Bosch appliances, centers around a grand island with white granite counters, perfect for entertaining. An ocean-view breakfast nook, custom Cellinite light fixture in the dining room, and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room underscore the home's warmth and sophistication. Flexible spaces abound, including a cozy den that doubles as a fifth bedroom, a soundproofed upstairs media and game room, and a lower level that houses three bedrooms (two of them ocean-view primary suites), along with a spacious office and exercise room. Nearly every room on the lower level opens to sweeping views, while the grounds offer a generous yard with ample space for a pool, gardens, or additional outdoor amenities. Parking includes a three-car garage and a broad driveway for guests. Adding a remarkable dimension to this offering, an architectural project by Anders Lasater Architects, The Sunset Duet & Sunrise Duet, was honored at the 2025 AIA Orange County Design Awards. Recognized in the Unbuilt Category for its quiet clarity, sculptural stair design, floating upper volume, and thoughtful response to the site, the project presents an inspiring vision for a future reimagining of the property. This award-winning plan offers buyers not just a 7500SF home, but the opportunity to bring a celebrated architectural concept to life. 2155 Temple Hills Drive is more than a residence. It is a canvas for possibility, a lifestyle defined by panoramic horizons, and a showcase of design excellence in one of California's most coveted coastal settings.
