A stunning home in Laguna Beach, California, is now on the market for $29.95 million. This property, one of only eight directly situated on the sand in the exclusive Three Arch Bay community, features a spacious layout and modern amenities that are sure to attract high-end buyers.
Completed in 2007 and recently remodeled, the three-story residence spans 5,072 square feet and includes four bedrooms and six bathrooms. Private steps lead from the backyard to Mussel Cove, a secluded beach area accessible only to residents of the guard-gated neighborhood. The property sits on a 9,040-square-foot lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, providing both privacy and breathtaking ocean views.
Interior Features and Design
The home’s design emphasizes an open floor plan, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling bifold glass doors that flood the interior with natural light. The entryway, located on the top level, features a loft-style foyer with a sitting area that overlooks the expansive living and dining space, connected by a wide staircase with glass railings.
At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen equipped with quartz countertops, a peninsula, an island with breakfast bar seating, and high-end stainless steel appliances. A glass-enclosed wine wall and a separate prep kitchen with a walk-in pantry add to its appeal. The living room, anchored by a raised linear fireplace, opens onto a balcony that offers stunning ocean views.
The lower two levels each host an ocean-view primary suite. One of these suites includes a bonus room, while both feature a fireplace, en-suite bathroom, and walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry. Glass walls provide access to covered balconies, creating an ideal space for relaxation. Additionally, one of the two secondary bedrooms is fitted with built-in bunk beds, perfect for accommodating guests.
