Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1978, the property has undergone an extensive, high-end renovation within the last few years.

The contemporary aesthetic, updated fixtures, and lack of deferred maintenance align with the criteria for excellent condition.
Elementary School: El Morro Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Thurston Middle School (9/10). High School: Laguna Beach High School (9/10).
The property features an uncommon double lot, providing a level of outdoor space, privacy, and expansion potential that is exceptionally rare for the Laguna Beach area.
The home boasts premium upgrades including Thermador appliances and curated materials from Walker Zanger and Ann Sacks, offering a sophisticated, turnkey luxury experience.
While the property offers pleasant treetop and neighborhood views, it lacks the expansive Pacific Ocean vistas typically expected by buyers at this price point in Laguna Beach.
Despite the extensive aesthetic and surface-level remodels, the 1978 original construction may still feature older underlying structural or utility components compared to a modern build.
Perched in the coveted Arch Beach Heights neighborhood, this coastal retreat is a rare offering that pairs a clean, modern aesthetic with the uncommon luxury of an oversized double lot. Just one block from the community park, hiking trails, and neighborhood amenities, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded to deliver both elevated design and effortless indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of the home, a chef’s kitchen anchors the main level with a striking marble island, custom navy cabinetry, and refined gold hardware. Outfitted with Thermador appliances and Kohler fixtures, the space blends performance with style, while flowing seamlessly into light-filled living areas defined by warm wood flooring and curated designer finishes. Throughout the home, high-end materials—including tile and finishes sourced from Walker Zanger, Ann Sacks, Cement Tile Shop, and Concrete Collaborative—add a level of craftsmanship and detail that quietly sets it apart. The floor plan offers exceptional versatility, featuring a dedicated office that can easily function as an additional bedroom, along with a playroom or secondary den that provides flexible space for families or guests. Upstairs, a second living area creates the perfect entertaining retreat, complete with a custom bar accented by a dark penny-tile backsplash, built-in shelving, and polished brass details. This space opens to a private balcony with tranquil treetop and neighborhood views, enhancing the home’s seamless connection to its surroundings. Outside, the oversized lot becomes a private sanctuary—an increasingly rare find in Laguna Beach. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the backyard features a built-in BBQ, expansive sun deck, and lush, mature landscaping that creates a sense of total seclusion. Whether hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet coastal evenings, the setting is both intimate and inviting. Combining thoughtful design, flexible living spaces, and a premier location just moments from the best of Laguna Beach, this property offers a compelling blend of scale, style, and lifestyle.
