31081 Coast Highway Laguna Beach CA 92651 MLS #NP24096419

Unobstructed oceanfront views are just one of the countless rewards you will enjoy at this extra-light, exceptionally open Mid-Century Modern home in south Laguna Beach. Featuring private stairs to the sands of Aliso Beach below, the clifftop residence offers panoramic Pacific Ocean views that include breaking waves, sunsets over Catalina Island, and beaches to the north and south. A large front yard with a paver-finished driveway for ample guest parking and an attached one-car garage ensures appreciated privacy from the highway. A gate on the side of the garage opens to the completely private side entrance of the home, which extends approximately 1,536 square feet. Built in 1956, the two-bedroom, two-bath design showcases a recent remodel that maintains MCM style while incorporating modern finishes and fixtures. Commanding sit-down ocean views embellish the entire main living area, where a floor-to-ceiling bookmatched stone fireplace anchors the living room, and vaulted and beamed ceilings soar over the adjacent kitchen and family areas. Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors open to a wraparound deck with magnificent ocean views and plenty of room for entertaining. Indoor entertaining is equally impressive thanks to a magazine-caliber kitchen with quartz countertops, glass cabinetry, an island and separate peninsula with bar seating, a wet bar with built-in beverage cooler, and Viking appliances including a built-in refrigerator and six-burner cooktop. Vaulted ceilings continue in both bedrooms, and baths display custom quartz counters and shower surrounds. The primary suite is further enriched with a walk-in closet, LED mirror, two sinks, and a spacious shower. This home’s prime location is minutes from the Montage Resort and golf at The Ranch. Laguna’s Main Beach is only a short distance up Coast Highway, and Monarch Beach and Dana Point await to the south.
