About this home
PRICE IMPROVEMENT - Set high above Victoria Beach, this newly built coastal cottage and ADU blend early American architectural charm with the comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind of modern construction. Offering a versatile retreat for full-time living, a second home, or a refined coastal escape, the residence captures timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. A classic combination of brick and wood siding creates a striking exterior, while the interiors showcase exposed beams, marble and soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry, extensive built-ins, and solid oak flooring. Sweeping ocean views provide a stunning backdrop, completing this one-of-a-kind coastal sanctuary. The main two-bedroom cottage centers around the original wood-burning fireplace. Both bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms, and the kitchen and living room are oriented toward the water to capture natural light and sea breezes. The English-inspired kitchen pairs classic detailing with modern amenities and luxury appliances — including Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, and Thermador — and opens toward the coastline for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, intimate bedrooms with sloped ceilings overlook the shoreline, offering peaceful vantage points for sunrise and quiet evenings by the sea. A separate one-bedroom ADU adds flexibility — ideal for guests, extended family, long-term stays, or a private studio or workspace — and is equipped with its own suite of luxury appliances and a charming coastal outlook. Multiple decks perched above the coast and brick walkways complete the property, creating inviting spaces for entertaining or simply enjoying the ocean views.
Upper Victoria Beach, located between Victoria Drive and the Pacific Coast Highway, is a coastal and residential Laguna Beach neighborhood with blufftop ocean views and a stair-stepped street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Victoria Drive corridor near the iconic Pirate Tower, where beach stairs, surf checks, and camera-ready viewpoints set the daily rhythm. Landmark homes lean into mid-century lines and contemporary rebuilds, with pockets of classic beach cottages tucked along the slopes. The Montage Laguna Beach grounds and coastal trails frame the south edge with manicured paths and lookout points. Moulton Meadows Park adds open fields and courts above the shoreline. The scene reads quiet and design-forward, with the ocean as the constant backdrop.
