Situated on an approximately 8,100-square-foot lot, the home spans just over 2,300 square feet with three bedrooms and a study, all on one level. Panoramic views extend over Emerald Bay’s private beach to the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island beyond, complemented by the sound of crashing waves.

With significant potential to remodel, expand, or build new, this is a rare opportunity to create the ultimate Emerald Bay beach retreat in one of Laguna Beach’s most coveted communities.
