The home
About 1292 Cliff Drive
Just 80 yards from the sand at Crescent Bay Beach, with views stretching across the Pacific to Catalina Island, this corner-lot, move-in-ready residence captures the essence of refined seaside living. Encompassing approximately 3,267 square feet, the home offers three bedrooms and four-and-one-half baths, with architecture by acclaimed Horst Noppenberger in collaboration with Andrew Williams Construction.
Spanish-inspired architecture, terracotta rooflines, stone accents, arched details, and mature coastal landscaping create an inviting first impression. Inside, custom cabinetry, refined millwork, beamed ceilings, tile flooring imported from France, sets of French doors, and a seamless connection to the outdoors reflect thoughtful design throughout.
An ocean-view gourmet kitchen anchors the living and entertaining spaces, appointed with natural limestone countertops, Viking dual ovens with grill, Sub-Zero refrigeration and wine storage, a Bosch dishwasher, and beautifully crafted custom cabinetry.
Outdoor living is a defining element of the property, with expansive decking, generous patios, and multiple areas to relax, dine, and entertain. French doors open to an ocean-view terrace, where a fire pit lounge creates a front-row setting for sunsets over the Pacific as shifting light and color define each evening.
Also located on the main level are the primary suite, a secondary bedroom, and two-and-one-half baths. Privately positioned, the primary suite offers ocean views from its balcony, a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and integrated mirror television.
On the lower level, a generous guest suite, two additional baths, and an oversized secondary living area or bonus room provide flexibility for hosting, relaxing, or everyday living. Additional highlights include a dedicated laundry room with ample storage and a standby generator.
Set within one of Laguna Beach’s most desirable enclaves near Crescent Bay, with direct beach access across the street, this rare offering provides proximity to renowned dining, galleries, boutiques, and beaches while blending quality construction, refined design, and the enduring appeal of the California coastal lifestyle.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.32% (week of Oct 22, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Laguna Beach rate, excluding Mello-Roos.
