Experience sweeping, white water and coastline views from this beautifully appointed Mediterranean residence, located in the coveted hillside Portafina neighborhood of Laguna Beach. Showcasing breathtaking panoramas that span from San Clemente to Catalina Island and all the way to Palos Verdes and the Santa Monica Mountains, the home captures the essence of coastal living from nearly every vantage point. A private courtyard entry introduces the home, leading into a light-filled formal living room with soaring ceilings and marble flooring. French doors open directly to the courtyard, creating a natural indoor-outdoor flow, while one of the home's three fireplaces anchors the room with warmth and character. The kitchen, dining, and family room come together as one cohesive space, creating an easy, natural flow throughout the main level. The kitchen is perfectly positioned to take in the view, featuring a generous center island with breakfast bar, ample storage, and uninterrupted ocean vistas. It opens to the dining area and adjacent family room, where a second fireplace and a wall of windows frame the Laguna coastline beyond. Sliding doors open to an expansive deck, ideal for entertaining or simply taking in the ocean breeze and endless sunsets. Upstairs, a striking wrought iron staircase leads to four bedrooms, all finished with rich bamboo flooring. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering mesmerizing views, a private ocean-facing deck, and its own fireplace, creating a quiet, elevated escape. The en-suite bath continues the experience with unparalleled views, a spacious walk-in closet, soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. Located just down the street from Moulton Meadows Park, offering tennis, pickleball, basketball, a dog park, playgrounds, and scenic hiking, and just moments from Victoria Beach, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, the iconic Montage Resort, and Laguna’s renowned dining and gallery scene, this home truly offers the best of coastal living.
