Ocean Views in Portafina
740 Bolsana Drive, Laguna Beach
A remodeled Mediterranean estate above Laguna Village, with 4,400 square feet, four bedrooms, a pool and spa on a view terrace, and three garage bays. Offered at $6,950,000.
The Property
A view house that also solves parking
740 Bolsana Drive sits in Portafina, a hillside enclave in the Laguna Village area, less than a mile inland of Victoria Beach and roughly a mile from Montage Laguna Beach. The house faces southwest, which is why the ocean, panoramic and city-light views carry through the main rooms and why the terraces catch the sunset rather than the morning glare.
Inside are 4,400 square feet, four bedrooms and five baths on a 0.1862 acre lot, built in 2005 and remodeled since. Three of the bedrooms sit on the main level. Wood floors run throughout, fireplaces sit in the living room, family room and primary suite, and the kitchen works off stone counters with a built-in range, double oven and range hood.
The part that is genuinely hard to find at this address is the parking: three garage bays plus driveway space, six spaces in total, on a Laguna hillside where one covered space is often the whole story.

The Layout
How the 4,400 square feet are arranged
Four bedrooms and five baths, with the living space oriented to the view and the flexible rooms opening to the courtyard.
Living Areas
The main living space runs to walls of glass and a raised-hearth fireplace, with the dining area and kitchen sharing the same outlook. A second fireplace warms the family room. Stone counters, built-in cabinetry, a bar and walk-in closets carry through, and the whole house runs on zoned central air with double-pane windows.
Bedrooms and Flexible Rooms
Three of the four bedrooms are on the main level. The primary suite has its own fireplace and a bath with a soaking tub and dual vanities. Beyond the bedrooms the plan carries rooms that flex: a media room set up as a private theater with a projection screen, and a room fitted out as a gym that opens to the outdoors.
The Garage
Three bays on a Laguna hillside
Parking is the practical constraint on most Laguna Beach hillside properties, and it is where this address separates itself. The listing reports three garage spaces and six parking spaces in total, with attached direct access behind a gate, and describes the bays as double-height with room for lifts. For a buyer with more than two cars, that combination is rare inland of the coast highway.
The outdoor side is built for the same climate: a private heated pool with a waterfall, a heated in-ground spa, a built-in outdoor kitchen, and covered terraces and decks with a fire pit.
