About this home

Major remodel 2020. Perched above the stunning coastline of Laguna Beach, 594 Cliff Drive is one of the most extraordinary properties offered for sale along the California coast. With unobstructed ocean views, this reimagined residence exemplifies sophisticated coastal living in a prime location just moments from beaches, shops, and dining. Meticulously renovated with no expense spared, the home blends timeless elegance with cutting-edge design. Every inch reflects superior craftsmanship, from the high-end construction to the seamless indoor-outdoor flow enhanced by glass bifold doors, expansive patios, and a custom elevator serving the top two levels for convenient access. The main level is an entertainer’s dream. It features a gourmet kitchen outfitted with an ILVE oven and rotisserie stove, dual sinks, refrigerator and freezer, plus a fully equipped prep kitchen with an additional oven, sink, and built-in coffee station. A formal dining area, multiple sitting spaces, and a spacious living room open to a spectacular ocean-facing deck with frameless glass railings—offering panoramic views of the whitewater, sand, and surf. A separate family room opens to a beautifully landscaped rear garden, while a bonus room provides flexible space ideal for a home office or guest overflow. A unique ocean-view bar and lounge area opens to yet another patio retreat, creating the perfect setting for sunset cocktails. The middle level is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite featuring two walk-in closets, a fireplace, and stunning ocean views. The spa-inspired primary bathroom includes a soaking tub, walk-in steam shower, dual vanities, private water closet, and a separate laundry area for added convenience. On the lower level, two additional bedrooms each enjoy their own climate control and share a beautifully designed bathroom with dual sinks with doors that lead to beach access. A spacious laundry/mudroom is located just off the oversized three-car garage, offering built-in storage, temperature-controlled wine storage, and direct interior access. The elevator originates from this level and serves the top two floors. Additional highlights include whole-home audio, an outdoor shower, air conditioning throughout, and top-of-the-line finishes that blend beauty with function. A true sanctuary by the sea—refined, rare, and ready to impress even the most discerning buyer. Location location location. Walk everywhere, no car needed. Steps to sand, beach, and dining.
