On the market for the first time in over 40 years, this Mid-Century residence embodies the timeless architecture and versatile design that are iconic to Laguna Beach. Built in 1963 and set on nearly 10,000 square feet in serene Bluebird Canyon, the home integrates wood, stone, and glass in a design that connects effortlessly to its natural surroundings. Step into the welcoming foyer, where light from vaulted ceiling and skylight above sets the tone. To the left, a private wing offers two well-sized bedrooms and a full bath. This wing also extends to a private ensuite bedroom with a walk-in closet and its own exterior entrance—ideal for a primary suite, extended family, guests, or a home office. To the right of the foyer, the dining area flows into the kitchen, where generous granite counters, ample cabinetry, and direct garage access make everyday living easy. On the lower level, the home’s grand living room makes a dramatic statement with its impressive stone fireplace, oversized windows, and French doors that open to the backyard. Adjacent to this space, a second large sitting room—with another set of French doors—offers versatility as a formal dining room, family room, or creative studio. Out back, the expansive deck invites gatherings and relaxation with multiple seating areas, a peekaboo ocean view, and a private, tree-framed yard. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys vaulted ceilings, two private terraces, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with double sinks and a striking open design that feels connected to the home’s architectural spirit. Celebrated for its original Mid-Century character, this home offers rare architectural integrity and scale. With dramatic volumes and a versatile floor plan, it provides the ideal canvas for thoughtful updates to create a truly timeless Laguna Beach retreat.
