425 Panorama

Occupying a completely private ridge overlooking miles of coastline, this remodeled and restyled home is light, open, and designed to take full advantage of the panorama of ocean, island, city light, and sunset views. The view is hypnotic and includes miles of coastline as well as white water views of several coves in North Laguna Beach. The exceptionally wide parcel affords for a very desirable floor plan with most of the house, including the master bedroom suite, on the entry level. Throughout the home, walls of glass open to the adjoining terraces and mature Mediterranean gardens; all overlooking the Pacific. High ceilings, custom Riviera Bronze windows, hand-forged ironwork, and rich hardwood floors are but a few of the details that grace the interiors. On the entry level the capacious great room – eminently suitable for entertaining on most any scale – features two seating areas (one with a fireplace), and a dining area; all with floor to ceiling glass doors that frame the views. Adjoining this great room is the appealing kitchen with its gleaming cabinetry, marble countertops and high-end appointments. The breakfast room is bright and inviting and opens through its own French doors to the gardens. There are two bedrooms on this level (including the master), with one bedroom currently being used as a den. The master suite occupies the elevated corner of the home and opens to its private view terrace. The lower level of the home includes two bedrooms and baths. Both bedrooms open to the ocean views. This home’s location, high in the serene neighborhood of Emerald Terrace, benefits from ease of access and is proximate to some of Laguna Beach’s most scenic coves and beaches. It is also walkable to downtown Laguna Beach, while also being a short drive to Crystal Cove, Corona del Mar, and Newport Beach. There really is no better combination of privacy and views – coupled with a turn-key residence – available on the market today. One can imagine sitting in the garden at night, warmed by the firepit, watching the views as the seasons change. Whether it be the fireworks on the Fourth of July, or the fiery winter sunsets, the views are both enthralling and ever-changing. As either a primary residence, or a coastal pied-à-terre, this home promises to enchant its owners for many years to come.
