On the market for the first time in over 40 years, this Mid-Century residence embodies the timeless architecture and versatile design that are iconic to Laguna Beach. Built in 1963 and set on nearly 10,000 square feet in serene Bluebird Canyon, the home integrates wood, stone, and glass in a design that connects effortlessly to its natural surroundings. Step into the welcoming foyer, where light from vaulted ceiling and skylight above sets the tone. To the left, a private wing offers two well-sized bedrooms and a full bath.

Adjacent to this space, a second large sitting room—with another set of French doors—offers versatility as a formal dining room, family room, or creative studio. Out back, the expansive deck invites gatherings and relaxation with multiple seating areas, a peekaboo ocean view, and a private, tree-framed yard. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys vaulted ceilings, two private terraces, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with double sinks and a striking open design that feels connected to the home’s architectural spirit.
