Description
Embraced by a dramatic hillside along Laguna Beach's iconic Skyline Drive, this luxurious Italian-style villa showcases ocean views, richly detailed architecture, and elegant indoor/outdoor living. Set behind custom gates, the home is framed by Italian cypress trees and graced with stone walls on a terraced site that extends nearly 8,613 square feet. Indoors, natural light illuminates distinctive living areas that measure approximately 3,167 square feet across three levels and include a trio of en suite bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths.
The main level reveals a formal living room with a handsome fireplace, ocean views, built-in bookcases, and French doors leading to a private courtyard with a fountain. At the top of the property, there is an intimate patio with ocean and evening-light views of Laguna's village. Vaulted and beamed ceilings are featured throughout the residence, including a spacious dining room and a fireplace-warmed family room. Chefs of all skill levels, from amateur to pro, will appreciate a beautiful kitchen with a walk-in pantry, white cabinetry with glass uppers, a large island with a stainless steel top, limestone countertops, cabinet-matched appliances, and a versatile cooktop with grill. The kitchen overlooks the family room, and both spaces open via French doors to an ocean-view patio with a fireplace and built-in BBQ, which is an ideal place to enjoy morning coffee and evening cocktails with friends.
Downstairs awaits an en suite bedroom with patio access, two baths, a gym, a walk-in wine cellar, and a generous laundry room with extra cabinetry. The top level is reserved for another en suite bedroom and a private primary suite with two walk-in closets, a jetted soaking tub, a tiled shower, two vanities with custom limestone sinks, and a fireplace. Two sets of French doors lead to a gorgeous terrace with ocean views. Exquisite craftsmanship is displayed in solid wood arched doors, custom lighting fixtures, and wood and travertine flooring.
