30872 Driftwood Drive Laguna Beach, CA 92651

BACK ON MARKET! Intentionally poised at an angle that maximizes Laguna Beach's beautifully unescapable ocean, sunset and evening-light views, this stunning contemporary home exudes a Modern Art vibe. At first glance, this one-of-one custom built residence, designed and finished in 2007 by Laguna Beach architect David Coulter, effortlessly blends with its natural setting thanks to the carefully designed landscaping and hardscaping that complements appealing architecture. A glass gate leads up to the entryway, which welcomes you to a bright and open living space that feel distinct yet freely flow from one to another. Access the outdoors from most rooms, including the family room which dramatically opens on an elevated front terrace with unobstructed views. A calm, quiet viewpoint that we think should be enjoyed with your choice of tipple. An oversized bonus room with a French door leads you to a grand view deck, easily accessible from the entryway. The atrium-style, private courtyard is highlighted by bright red exposed beams, sun and shade areas with a custom water feature. The courtyard allows light to illuminate indoor spaces including the designer kitchen with nook, stone countertops, wood cabinetry with steel and glass uppers, a breakfast bar, and high-end stainless steel appliances. Yes, of course it has a built-in wine refrigerator. High open-beam ceilings, wood flooring with underfloor heating throughout, extensive use of natural materials, a versatile loft and a floating staircase lend added appeal to the three-level design. For the ultimate in personal luxury, the primary suite offers ocean views, a spacious sitting room, beamed ceilings and a spa-caliber bath with freestanding soaking tub. The home's prime South Laguna location makes it too easy to leave the motor parked and lace up your walking shoes. Aliso beach, Treasure Island Park, swimmable coves and the world-famous Montage Resort are all just a cheeky bop away. If you're one to track your daily steps, there are also great restaurants, such as top-rated Starfish, and all the necessary shops very close to home. For the golf-lovers; Ben Brown's 9-hole canyon course is so close you could hit a Driver off the roof to the first green (we don't suggest you try this).
