    What's special

    This curated home with casual elegance captures sweeping ocean and Catalina views from nearly every room, tucked into the highly desired Tree Streets of North Laguna. Thoughtfully designed for effortless coastal living, the residence offers three ensuite bedrooms and a floor plan that seamlessly blends indoor comfort with outdoor relaxation. The main living room welcomes you with its soaring wood-beamed ceilings, rich oak flooring, and a classic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. Oversized windows frame the postcard-worthy ocean vistas, filling the space with natural light and a sense of calm. Just beyond, an expansive view terrace becomes your front-row seat for unforgettable sunsets and slow mornings with coffee overlooking the coastline. The kitchen and dining areas open gracefully to the living room, creating an ideal flow for everyday living and entertaining. In the kitchen, you’ll find Viking range, high-end stainless appliances, a breakfast bar, a second brick fireplace, and vaulted ceilings with a skylight that bathes the room in soft, coastal light. French doors lead outside to a terraced garden retreat, multiple sitting areas, mature lemon, orange, olive, and magnolia trees, and an elevated view deck offering yet another incredible vantage point to take in the serene ocean views making every sunrise and sunset a private escape. Perfectly positioned in North Laguna, you’re just blocks from some of Laguna’s most iconic beaches, local galleries, boutique shopping, resorts and dining. This home captures the essence of the North Laguna lifestyle, relaxed, refined, and surrounded by natural beauty.
