With Zen-inspired sitting areas and endless ocean views, this lush, landscaped property is both charming and modern.
While it may be known today as a posh beach city in Orange County, Laguna Beach has a fascinating history filled with pirate towers, caves, charming cabins, and apparently tree houses. Even so, many ancient structures like the pirates’ tower remain.
Perched above the Laguna Beach coastline and just a few minutes walk from Victoria Beach, this hillside sanctuary is one of those historic influences. Although the house was built in 1925, its treehouse lounge deck dates back to 1925, making it a very cool home. With its lush natural landscaping, plant-lined stone pathways, greenery-filled decks, and thoughtfully placed terraces, this property feels secluded in a bustling neighborhood.
Four bedrooms and four bathrooms make up the 3,344-square-foot house. It is flooded with natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that lead directly out onto the ocean-facing terraces. The living areas feature white wood-beamed ceilings and natural wood floors throughout. From the pristine kitchen to the dining area, and from all the bedrooms, every spot in this house has an ocean view. A bronze soaking tub and high-end fixtures grace the primary bathroom in the main suite, which opens to a private terrace where you can watch the sunset each night.
Nevertheless, it is the outdoor areas that take center stage. Throughout the property, there are several private outdoor areas, including a shaded patio, terraces along the home’s perimeter, stone pathways that weave your way through the property, and a Zen-inspired garden with water features and landscaping.
to The treehouse-style deck located off the front of the home is built within an old tree and hovers above the ground. It’s the perfect spot for gorgeous outdoor loungers to soak up the sun all day long. There’s plenty of opportunity for additional outdoor amenities, whether it’s a grill or outdoor pizza oven on the home’s terrace, or transforming a bedroom into a gym or art studio.
The home is close to Victoria Beach but also to Montage Laguna Beach, shopping, restaurants, and outdoor activities. The home is listed by Andy Stavros and Josh Altman of Douglas Elliman.
