    What's special

    Set on an elevated view lot with an unobstructed vantage point, this impressive, fully remodeled Top Of The World home captures panoramic views of the Pacific, Catalina Island, lush canyon, city lights, and the dramatic coastline stretching to Palos Verdes. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout the upper level, encompassing a formal living room anchored by a limestone fireplace finished with custom millwork and a slab surround. The spacious dining area and adjacent family room are lined with walls of glass windows and doors that open to an expansive deck running the length of the home, creating a seamless indoor outdoor flow. Recently reimagined, the chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, brass fixtures and hardware, designer lighting, top-of-the-line Viking appliances, and a large center island complete with prep sink, wine fridge, and breakfast bar seating. Every living space is perfectly oriented to maximize the uninterrupted coastal views. All four bedrooms are located on the lower level, including two potential primary suites and three additional spa-like baths. Each bedroom enjoys ocean views and sliding glass doors opening to a covered patio with year-round sunset views stretching across the horizon. Just beyond, a sprawling lawn with room for a pool is surrounded by lush landscaping and new hardscape, creating a private outdoor setting overlooking the coastline and canyon beyond. Located in one of Laguna Beach’s most coveted hillside communities, the home enjoys close proximity to award-winning schools including Top Of The World Elementary, Alta Laguna Park, extensive hiking and biking trails, downtown Laguna Beach, and the area’s renowned beaches.
