About 444 Ashton Drive
RARE OPPORTUNITY. "Hollywood Hills-esque" modern masterpiece completely reimagined over the last four years by a discerning developer out of Miami and set on a gated, private sprawling lot merely blocks from the popular Victoria Beach. Nestled behind the gated entry, and up the oversized driveway this compound rests on over 1/3 of an acre and hosts a romantic walking trail system through lush gardens, an ampitheater equipped with stadium style seating and a lookout observatory deck featuring a fire and ice pit. Enormous panoramic ocean and Catalina views from every location in the home. Straight out of dwell magazine, the completely reworked modern home features incredible indoor/outdoor spaces and is well suited for entertaining. Sliding walls of Vitrocsa glass lead to vast terrace spaces that include an outdoor barbecue, fountains, fire feature and atrium. Luxurious and carefully selected finishes throughout the home. The master suite is equipped with a spa-like bathroom hosting a wall-to-wall steam shower with inset soaking tub, large walk-in closet and sliding wall of glass open to the private master terrace. Not many opportunities exist in Laguna Beach to own a home like this, on a lot like this and yet walking distance to the sand.
