Just steps from the golden sands of Thousand Steps Beach, this contemporary Craftsman-style home is a rare coastal sanctuary designed to embrace the beauty of its surroundings. Built from the ground up in 2000 and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s timeless design principles, the residence offers breathtaking panoramic ocean views stretching from Catalina Island and up the coast to the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Spanning three thoughtfully designed levels, this three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home was created for both effortless living and inspired entertaining. The great room, with its southwest-facing orientation, is drenched in natural light, flowing seamlessly onto expansive sandstone-tiled decks where ocean breezes and the sight of passing dolphins, whales, boats, and more become part of daily life. A chef’s kitchen, finished with maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, opens to the main living area, creating a warm and inviting space. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a spa-like jetted tub, a walk-in closet, and private outdoor access. Two guest bedrooms, one of the en-suite, offer flexibility for guests or a home office, while the media room—outfitted with custom cabinetry—provides the perfect setting for movie nights. Outside, lush mature landscaping—including trees, vibrant flowers, a rose garden, and two fountains—creates a peaceful setting that complements the home’s natural beauty. Carefully curated upgrades enhance both beauty and function, from bamboo flooring and motorized shades to copper roofing, recessed lighting, and a fully fenced yard. Practical elements like a tankless water heater, a laundry chute, built-in closet storage, and an extra-long driveway with room for five cars—plus an attached two-car garage—make life here as convenient as it is breathtaking. The charming neighborhood features renowned beaches, restaurants, access to hiking trails and is just a short stroll to trolley stops for evenings out enjoying Laguna Beach’s art festivals, shops, and dining.
