With an ocean view that seems to stretch beyond what is logically possible, the home at 2925 Zell Drive may have been THE spot where the “Top of the World” neighborhood gained its name. The front-row home benefits from a unique prominent forward position – the adjacent properties seem to melt away, and the chaparral and hills frame a view so broad it stretches from Catalina Island to Newport Coast. The property’s extraordinary size allows for generously sized patios/decks, yard space, and even a swimming pool. Enjoyed by the same family for the last 50 years, the home has been updated several times and carries a comfortable mid-century ranch vibe, but most will choose to make their own mark on this exceptional property. You’ll have close proximity to the award-winning Top of the World Elementary School, the amazing Alta Laguna park with sports courts and fields, trailheads for hiking and biking, and – of course – the beaches, dining, art, and village that make Laguna Beach famous the world over. Whether you choose to sit quietly to contemplate another timeless sunset over Catalina Island or decide on a morning hike along any of the nearby trails, choose 2925 Zell Drive and you’ll always be able to find your own adventure.
