The property features a 5,000 sqft double lot, providing an uncommon level of outdoor space, privacy, and a large backyard sanctuary that is a significant rarity in the Arch Beach Heights neighborhood.
The home has been meticulously upgraded with premium materials from Walker Zanger and Ann Sacks, complemented by a chef’s kitchen featuring Thermador appliances and custom cabinetry.
Despite the premium Laguna Beach location, the property offers neighborhood and treetop views rather than the expansive Pacific Ocean vistas typically expected at this price point.
Originally built in 1978, the home may have older underlying systems or structural elements that require more maintenance than a newer construction, despite the high-quality interior updates.
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.
