Property Description

Set just south of Moss Point in South Laguna Bluffs, this custom compound affords breathtaking whitewater, ocean, Catalina, and sunset views from its desirable front-row location. The sound of waves breaking on the rocks below and the refreshing scent of sea breezes in the air enhance the ambiance of the residence, which is terraced on the bluff and embraced by sumptuously landscaped private grounds. A lush fern grotto leads to the main house welcoming fabulous ocean views from all three levels. Beyond a friendly Dutch entry door, the elegant yet casual design reveals an open-concept main level that complements entertaining with a fireplace-warmed living room, a dining room, a walk-in wet bar with copper sink and beverage refrigerator, and a spacious family room with built-ins and access to a refreshing ocean-view balcony. This level also presents a powder room, and chef’s kitchen with a butcher-block island, new white quartz countertops with full backsplash, white cabinetry, pantry, adjacent laundry room, and preferred appliances including a built-in cabinet-matched Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosh dishwasher, and KitchenAid ovens. With a combined total of approximately 4,672 square feet, the main house includes three bedrooms and three-and-one-half-baths while the pool house hosts two bedrooms and one bath. The main house places one en suite bedroom on a lower floor that features a walk-in wine cellar, a wet bar, and an ocean-view great room. Outside, grounds at this level showcase a charming gazebo and a sunny deck with stairs leading to the rocks below. The primary suite, secondary bedroom, and second laundry room are located on the top level. A circular hall with skylight and inlaid wood medallion provides passage to a full bath, secondary bedroom with a walk-in closet, and primary suite, which boasts stunning ocean views, cedar-lined walk-in closet, jetted soaking tub, and access to two balconies. The home’s bright and inviting pool house offers two more bedrooms, a bath, and living area with wet bar. A three-car garage and brick motor court await at street level. Furthering the allure of the estate are freshly painted interiors, new carpet, wood flooring, paneled walls and ceilings in varying locations, crown molding, wainscoting, custom tile work, and indoor-outdoor ceiling speakers.
