About this home

Majestically towering over Victoria Beach, this architecturally-significant, Laguna Beach contemporary offers panoramic white-water views, over 5,000 square feet of living space and close proximity to one of Laguna's most beautiful beaches. Thoughtfully designed to maximize views and natural light, living in the property is like a dream, featuring three decks, a wood-burning fireplace, soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, a massive family room, 500+ bottle wine cellar and a master suite worthy of a five-star resort. Upgrades and conveniences abound with newer French Oak flooring, Gaggeneu 5-burner stove, dual dishwashers, large center kitchen island, high-quality white cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, walk-in pantry, six-zone whole-house sound system, halogen lighting throughout, real Brazilian slate roof and so much more. With a separate, private entrance to the lower level from Nyes Place, the property uniquely lends itself to a professional operating a business where clients come to visit. Of course, the new owner will enjoy all the riches that come with living in Laguna Beach (schools, restaurants, art galleries, entertainment, open space, nice people. .. ). Considering all this home has to offer, it presents an amazing value.

Residential Low Density Zone

This zone is intended for low-density, single-family residential areas, which will provide a suitable environment for family life for residents. The zone is intended to provide a quiet living environment free from rooming and boarding houses, commercial and industrial activities, and, to the greatest degree possible, free from other than local vehicular traffic. All new development in this zone shall be compatible with the immediate residential neighborhood with respect to scale, mass and height. The purpose of this zone is to allow low-profile, single-family residences that preserve existing public and private views and minimize building mass and bulk in a manner that is sensitive to their terrain and to environmental constraints.
