About 139 Moss Street

A deep connection to history, a striking setting, and the exciting possibilities of reinvention, make 139 Moss Street a truly unmatched offering in the California luxury home market. This scenic and recognizable home sits on a 1.1-acre +/- gated parcel in Laguna Beach known as Moss Point and is permeated by a sense of peace and true stillness. Ocean breezes sweep across gardens and stone paths lead to two spectacular view points, as staircases chiseled into the coastal bluff give direct access to sandy coves and a naturally-occurring pool. Crisp white siding and a covered porch create a picturesque scene where it’s easy to imagine President Woodrow Wilson lingering during his visits to this place, once under consideration to become the “Western White House”. The 4,325 +/- sq. ft. residence with 5 beds and 6 baths has been modernized, while preserving the character of its 1917 roots. Windows throughout the living areas artfully frame crystal blue skies and deeply hued sunsets, and an upgraded kitchen features granite counters and a large island for entertaining. Bedrooms are found on all three floors and offer mesmerizing views to all who visit. Bathrooms are upscale yet maintain a simplicity that honors the home’s vintage. A bonus room on the lowest level provides additional living space, with French doors that open to a patio bathed in sun and salty air. This storied property is a singular point not to be missed along the California coast.
