The home
About 629 Balboa Ave
This is THE ONE!
One of the rare buildable ocean view sites left in all of Laguna Beach, this exclusive property offers the remarkable opportunity not only to construct a magnificent home, but to design a lifestyle as expansive as its spectacular 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island and Laguna coastline. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected, unspoiled natural beauty, this is a place where everything drops away but what’s in the moment; sea scented breezes under endless blue skies to engage the senses, and sweeping ocean views to renew the spirit.
This is THE ONE, with 9,386 +/- square feet, available underground utilities, and a flat pad with sloping topography to optimize viewshed. Embracing natural surroundings with delightful patios and outdoor living spaces is made possible with street-to-street boundaries that afford ingress and egress alternatives. This is THE ONE where breathtaking views can serve as backdrops for architectural magic that is limited only by the imagination. A sanctuary with views to enjoy from every room and with windows that frame ever-changing tableaus, from shimmering blue waters dotted with sailboats unveiled at sunrise, to sublime sunsets bursting with color, before shifting to twinkling nighttime lights. This is THE ONE that captures the allure of Laguna as a world-class coastal destination.
Best of all, this is THE ONE located in prestigious Portafina, a gorgeous neighborhood with highly-rated local schools in the coveted community of Laguna Beach. With close proximity to Moulton Meadows Park, beautiful white sand beaches and secluded coves, the thriving harbors of Dana Point and Newport Beach, the sophisticated Montage and Ritz Carlton resorts, the famous Sawdust Art Festival and Pageant of the Masters, plus the dining, shopping and boardwalk scene of the Laguna Beach Village, 629 Balboa Avenue has it all.
Yes, this is THE ONE. All instruments are in place, poised and ready to create your Laguna symphony. But experiencing is believing… view the video tour and come see, and hear, for yourself!
