This 3758 sq. ft. 5-bedroom 5-bathroom residence is flooded with light and artfully marries the interior spaces with the breathtaking exterior surroundings. Adorned with exquisite surfaces and stonework, complemented by masterfully executed millwork no detail has been overlooked to even the most discerning beholder. Ocean views out to the endless horizon and year-round sunsets is the living art backdrop to this property and can be enjoyed from virtually any vantage point in the residence. Being set within Laguna Beach’s, Irvine Cove, this private oceanfront community is set at the most accessible northern tip of the city providing access to endless amenities such as John Wayne Airport, world class shopping at South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island, performing arts, museums and endless dining no more than 15 to 20 minutes away.
