Completely remodeled & incredibly private pool property with an ADU in the heart of South Laguna. Sited above Thousand Steps beach, this architectural wonder was reimagined to blend elegant interiors with incredible entertaining spaces in total seclusion. Sweeping views serve as the quintessential Southern California backdrop for the main room accented with wooden beams, which encompasses a spacious living area, a dining section with built in seating, and the home’s kitchen with premium finishes. Two bedrooms and a multipurpose den can also be found on this floor, offering the essence of single level living. The primary suite is luxurious, with bespoke oak cabinetry, a bright bathroom with a marble-enclosed walk-in shower with a sky light, double sinks, and a standalone bath tub. Multiple outdoor seating and entertaining area can be found throughout this fully gated property, including a BBQ next to the saltwater pool and spa. The lower level’s ADU includes a secondary kitchen, full bath, and a studio living-sleeping set up, making it fully autonomous. Minutes away from the area’s most sought after beaches and local restaurants, this is a offering for those seeking a truly discerning coastal lifestyle.
