About 2581 Iris

Elevated approximately 800 feet above the Pacific Ocean in Laguna Beach, this stunning 1964 mid-century modern residence captures breathtaking panoramic ocean and Catalina Island views. A beautifully preserved example of authentic mid-century design, the home showcases warm old-growth redwood, clean architectural lines, and expansive walls of glass that blur the line between indoors and out. Thoughtfully integrated into the natural hillside landscape, the residence reflects the era’s philosophy of organic architecture and relaxed coastal living. Sunlit interiors, soaring ceilings, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create a timeless living environment that feels both architecturally significant and effortlessly livable.

Purposefully designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, there are 3-bedrooms, 2 and a half baths and a designated office. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a fitness room/second office. The home showcases warm old-growth redwood walls in most every room, creating a timeless organic aesthetic that is both sophisticated and inviting. Built-in teak dining room cabinetry. The home’s rich wood tones, clean lines, and expansive glass walls embody classic mid-century design while framing sweeping views of the Pacific.

The open living spaces flow effortlessly toward the ocean, where walls of glass and sliding doors invite in natural light, sea breezes, and dramatic sunset vistas. The main living room features vaulted ceilings, exposed structural beams, and original redwood paneling, providing a warm architectural backdrop to the home's serene, modern-organic interior styling.

The thoughtfully designed layout offers comfortable living across three bedrooms, including tranquil private spaces that maintain a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

Outdoor spaces extend the living experience with view decks and a private garden patio, ideal for morning coffee, sunset entertaining, or simply enjoying the ocean air. Tropical landscaping, palms, and lush greenery viewed from most every window create a peaceful setting that feels both secluded and immersed in nature. Southwest orientation providing the best in coastline ocean views from main floor and two bedrooms.

Located just minutes from Laguna Beach’s renowned coves, galleries, restaurants, and coastal trails, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to own a true mid-century architectural gem.
