About this home

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Laguna Beach’s coveted Top of the World neighborhood, this home has been redesigned by respected local designers Andra and Ellie Miller, whose work is known for its craftsmanship and impeccable taste that stand the test of time. The design evokes the warmth and character of a Laguna storybook cottage while also offering the modern amenities of newer construction. The main residence features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, along with a fully updated detached ADU offering a full bath and kitchenette, well suited for guests, a private office or even extra income. At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been fully remodeled with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, zellige tile, Thermador appliances, breakfast bar, and bar area with wine refrigerator. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas, creating a natural flow for everyday living and entertaining. Beautiful wide oak plank floors extend throughout the home, complemented by custom lighting and beautifully remodeled bathrooms finished in zellige tile. The living room centers around a wood burning fireplace, while the upstairs primary suite offers a private balcony and expansive picture window framing unobstructed, preserved mountain views. Custom built-ins include a concealed electric television mount designed to disappear when not in use, allowing the views to remain the focal point. Generous closet space and custom closet systems are found throughout the home. Exterior improvements include a new roof, new driveway and patios, epoxy finished garage with car charger, an antique limestone fountain, and all new landscaping with custom vegetable garden boxes. The list of high-end, designer finishes is extensive and sure not to disappoint. Located in sought after Top of the World, the property is just down the street from award winning Top of the World Elementary and a short distance to Thurston Middle School, Alta Laguna Park, extensive hiking and biking trails, downtown Laguna Beach, and the coast. This is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously renovated home in one of Laguna Beach’s most desirable hillside neighborhoods.

Cons

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-06-03. The sold price is $2,505,000.00.
Absence of Ocean Views: Despite its 'Top of the World' location, the property description and view details indicate mountain and canyon views, lacking the highly sought-after panoramic ocean views often expected in this premium Laguna Beach area.
No Central Air Conditioning Mentioned: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a consideration for buyer comfort during warmer months, especially given the 1963 build year.
Original Construction Age: While extensively renovated, the home's original construction in 1963 means some underlying infrastructure, not explicitly mentioned as updated, may be older compared to new construction.
