Stunning northern-coast views looking toward Emerald Bay, the Pacific Ocean and whitewater vistas are framed by evening lights at this enviably private custom home in coveted and prestigious north Laguna Beach neighborhood. Set beyond a gate, the modern residence reveals a dramatic entrance with long turf-and-concrete driveway for ample onsite guest parking in addition to a two-car garage. Mature landscaping enhances privacy and creates a lush, verdant retreat that perfectly complements upscale carefree living. Frameless floor-to-ceiling windows, folding walls of glass and brilliant skylights bathe the two-level design in radiant natural light, and large-format stone-tile floors add warmth to most living areas. Approximately 2,528 square feet, the open floor plan places main living areas on the first level, and, for maximum privacy, two ensuite bedrooms and a third space currently featured as a bedroom with private bath on the lower floor. Taking full advantage of stunning ocean views, the living and dining rooms open to an expansive deck that generously caters to outdoor dining and entertaining with friends and loved ones and erases the line between indoor and outdoor living. Showcasing custom wood cabinetry and high-end style, the home's chef-caliber kitchen presents a large island, stone countertops, a cabinet-matched built-in refrigerator, and top-of-the-line stainless appliances. Both levels offer an impressive indoor/outdoor flow, with the lower floor featuring access to a magnificently landscaped private yard and a spacious loggia that extends living space outside. With lofty ceilings and generous space, the ocean-view primary suite opens to an enchanting garden and hosts a sitting area, walk-in closet, and a private and airy bath with walk-in shower. Close to Crescent Bay Beach, the home is moments from Laguna Beach's vibrant tapestry of village shops and restaurants, famous galleries and romantic coves. From candle-lit evenings on the deck overlooking the ocean to daily relaxation and living, this distinctive and welcoming residence will bring you endless enjoyment.
