Poised on an elevated peninsula-style homesite in a South Laguna Beach enclave of luxurious custom residences, this exquisite French Provincial estate welcomes breathtaking ocean, Catalina Island and sunset views from every room. Romantic archways, high ceilings, prominent wood beams, multiple French doors and large window expanses combine to create an air of sophisticated yet welcoming charm throughout a multi-story floorplan of approx. 3,640 s.f. The main level is open, bright and ideal for entertaining in a dining room with elegant chandelier, a living room with handsome fireplace, and access to a generous patio with built-in BBQ. Open to both the living areas and a private patio, the chef-inspired island kitchen impresses with custom white cabinetry, soapstone countertops and top-tier stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen, an intimate den is ideal for relaxation and watching TV. Professionally upgraded and remodeled inside and out, the residence offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including an opulent master suite with sitting room, covered ocean-view deck and spa bath. Exceptionally private and virtually hidden from the street, the home is located on a cul-de-sac, has only one direct neighbor, and hosts grounds that are truly award-winning. Honored in 2018 as the Best Garden in South Laguna Beach, terraced gardens showcase the talents of designer Ruben Flores. French-influenced plantings, fountains, a meandering pathway, fruit trees and formal hedges abound.
