This generous space provides a special sense of serenity and offers a level of privacy uncommon in oceanfront living. Whether used for entertaining, relaxing or simply taking in the ever-changing light over the water or whale-watching, the space feels like your own private overlook park.

With substantial interior square footage and a forward location on the point, the home would be difficult (if not impossible) to replicate under todays coastal development restrictions. Currently configured as a four-bedroom home with an abundance of additional flexible-use rooms, the floor plan and size easily lend themselves to a variety of configurations depending on the new owners needs. Also unusual in oceanfront properties, this home has three oversized garage bays and driveway parking. For those unfamiliar with Laguna Beachs Crescent Bay, this stretch of sand is stunningly beautiful and never without something interesting to watch. Waves crash on the tide pools in endlessly int
