Description

Just three blocks from the sands of Laguna Beach’s gorgeous Woods Cove, this ocean-view coastal cottage-inspired home blends luxury, elegance and a touch of classic European flair. Remodeled by award-winning local designer Andra Miller, the custom residence showcases beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and Laguna Beach coastline from indoor and outdoor living spaces, which easily flow from one to the other through glass doors leading to private patios and sunny balconies. Impressively sized at approximately 2,762 square feet, the four-bedroom, three- and one-half-bath design elevates open-concept living with a split-level main floor. A Dutch entry door welcomes friends and neighbors to a family room with corner fireplace, vaulted ceiling and an ocean-view balcony. High ceilings continue in a double-height foyer that showcases a skylight, elegant staircase and an built-in under-stairs office niche with desk. The foyer seamlessly transitions to a formal dining room that opens to the backyard and a phenomenal designer kitchen with a nook leading to a covered front porch. Enjoy top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances that include a six-burner Wolf range with griddle, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator that boasts a glass door and convenient drawers. An island topped with Carrara marble includes bar seating, an under-counter beverage refrigerator and a prep sink, and zinc countertops, white cabinetry with glass uppers, open shelving, farm sink and a full tile backsplash complete a truly stunning culinary showplace. Traditional and contemporary details are led by high open-beam tongue-and-groove ceilings, extensive custom built-ins in bedrooms and living areas, wide-plank French oak flooring, elegant crown molding and wainscoting, white-paneled walls, marble-finished baths, designer floor tile, in-ceiling speakers, and classic lighting fixtures including antique European pendants. Guests will appreciate a main-level suite that opens to the backyard, the office presents an ocean-view balcony, and the refined primary suite displays ocean views and a walk-in closet. Pacific vistas continue in the primary bath, which shines with a freestanding cast-iron sink, brick floor, two sinks and a frameless glass-enclosed multi-head shower. A towering shade tree with old-fashioned swing enhances the private front-yard patio, and the backyard features a spacious deck, built-in seating, spa, and a versatile artist shed. Restaurants, galleries and shops are just down the street.
