A Rare Oceanfront Opportunity in Laguna Beach
Set directly on the sand in one of Laguna Beach’s most exclusive and picturesque locations, this architecturally stunning residence offers the rare chance to own a modern beachfront home with endless potential. Designed by an award-winning architect and constructed in 2004 using steel, concrete, and glass, the 3,500 sq ft, four-story property blends bold contemporary design with dramatic ocean views from every level.
An elevator services all four floors, ensuring seamless access throughout. The home includes stacked parking for four cars — a true luxury in this prime coastal setting.
While the property would benefit from some thoughtful updates, its strong architectural foundation and intelligent layout provide an exceptional starting point for a discerning buyer to create a truly custom oceanfront masterpiece. The lower level features two 3/4 baths and a half bath and can be easily reimagined to include two additional bedrooms, expanding the livable space.
Whether you're looking for a spectacular vacation retreat or a legacy property to renovate and make your own, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to craft your dream home on the sands of Laguna Beach.
