Mid-Century Modern Design Meets the Laguna Beach Lifestyle in Coveted Woods Cove
Just three blocks from the sand in Laguna Beach’s coveted Woods Cove neighborhood, a newly upgraded Mid-Century Modern residence offers a private retreat that captures the character, architecture and effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle synonymous with Southern California coastal living.
Set on an approximately 7,500-square-foot corner homesite, the approximately 2,873-square-foot residence pairs period-inspired architectural character with sophisticated contemporary updates. Mature privacy hedges surround the property, creating an unexpected sense of seclusion just moments from the beaches, restaurants, galleries and shops that have made Laguna Beach one of California’s most celebrated coastal communities.
Beyond the entry gate, a landscaped courtyard immediately establishes the home’s relaxed atmosphere, with multiple outdoor seating areas and lush gardens creating a welcoming setting for entertaining. A covered and heated deck overlooking the courtyard further extends the living space outdoors, while expansive picture windows and glass doors bring abundant natural light into the home. The three-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath residence features ensuite bedrooms and a spacious great room.
At the heart of the home is an extensively appointed chef’s kitchen crowned by a vaulted ceiling and oversized skylight. Frameless wood cabinetry and a double-waterfall island are complemented by appliances from Thermador, Miele, Bosch and Dacor. The kitchen flows naturally into dining and fireplace-warmed living spaces, as well as an outdoor dining area on the adjoining deck.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private sanctuary filled with natural light. A custom fireplace and generous ocean-view sundeck create a distinctly Laguna Beach setting, while newly completed bathroom upgrades bring a contemporary level of luxury to the residence. The primary bath features an oversized shower, Schluter heated flooring, dual vanity with custom rift-cut oak cabinetry and a walk-in closet.
The home’s private grounds continue the emphasis on outdoor living with a BBQ patio located just off the kitchen, manicured gardens and a lush lawn, offering multiple spaces for intimate gatherings or relaxed afternoons at home.
Perhaps most compelling is the property’s ability to offer both privacy and proximity. Woods Cove’s beaches are just blocks away, while acclaimed schools and Laguna Beach’s renowned collection of restaurants, boutiques and galleries are all within easy reach.
The result is a home that feels distinctly connected to its surroundings: architectural yet comfortable, private yet close to everything, and designed around the coastal lifestyle that continues to make Laguna Beach one of Southern California’s most desirable places to call home.
