Enveloped by a commanding privet hedge and secured by a black iron gated entry, this North Laguna coastal estate offers a blend of sophisticated design and private tranquility. A slate front driveway flows seamlessly into a walkway leading to a classic Dutch entry door, opening into a light-filled interior defined by high ceilings and rich hardwood floors throughout the main areas. Custom multi-slide glass doors disappear entirely, seamlessly merging the living space with the private rear hardscape section. This outdoor area is anchored by a stone built-in fountain and offers matures landscaping that maximizes seclusion.The gourmet kitchen is a masterclass in functional elegance, centering on a massive island with seating, pristine Carrera marble countertops, and bespoke cabinetry including open shelving. Premium appliances—including a Wolf pro-style gas range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a Bosch dishwasher—are balanced by a charming eat-in breakfast area wrapped in custom framed French-style windows that look out to the lush front lawn and hedge. Designed for versatility, the main level also features a desirable downstairs bedroom alongside a dedicated laundry room complete with its own Dutch door access. A formal dining area completes this floor. The upper level is intelligently designed to accommodate both luxury and everyday living, featuring the owner’s suite, two secondary bedrooms, and a dedicated home office. The primary retreat opens via French doors to a private deck capturing striking whitewater ocean views, and includes a generous walk-in closet with fully built-out shelving. Its accompanying bath showcases smooth stone flooring, a freestanding soaking tub with a wall-mounted designer filler, and polished nickel fixtures. The adjacent den with mountain views currently serves as a private home gym but could easily double as a secondary home office. Finishing touches include Kelly Wearstler light fixtures, a slate driveway with additional parking in front of the separate two-car garage with ADU potential, an outdoor shower with hot and cold water for beach days, and ultra-durable fiber cement exterior siding engineered for the coastal environment. Positioned to offer a completely quiet and private escape, the property sits just moments from Heisler Park and Main Beach, with effortless access to Laguna Canyon and Newport Beach. This is North Laguna living at its most refined.
