Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Good
TeardownExcellent

Property is move-in ready.

This 1980-built architectural estate is in move-in ready condition with significant updates that align with the 'Good' category. The kitchen has been modernized with professional-grade stainless steel appliances, a large island with stone countertops, and updated cabinetry. While the property maintains its original Chris Abel post-and-beam design, the interior finishes, including hardwood flooring and updated fixtures, show minimal wear. The exterior decks and systems appear well-maintained, though the 40+ year age of the structure and coastal location suggest it falls short of the 'Excellent' newly-renovated requirement.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Great Schools

    Elementary School: El Morro Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Thurston Middle School (9/10). High School: Laguna Beach High School (9/10).

  • Rare Private Shoreline

    The property features a deeded, roped-off private beach area, a highly unique asset in California that allows for exclusive gatherings, pets, and private enjoyment typically prohibited on public beaches.

  • Architectural Pedigree

    Designed by renowned architect Chris Abel, the estate boasts a dramatic post-and-beam design with oversized windows and six white-water ocean-view decks that maximize the coastal aesthetic.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Vertical Layout Challenges

    The multi-level design and reliance on a dramatic spiral staircase to connect the main residence to the guest house may present accessibility issues for those with limited mobility.

  • Coastal Maintenance Requirements

    Built in 1980, the age of the structure combined with its direct oceanfront exposure necessitates rigorous and potentially costly ongoing maintenance to mitigate salt-air corrosion.

  • Market Pricing Volatility

    A recent $1 million price reduction from the original listing price suggests the property may have faced initial overvaluation or a softening in the ultra-luxury niche market.

About 31995 Coast Hwy.

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.
