Architecturally Significant Ocean View Modern By Paul McClean | Laguna Beach Perched atop one of Laguna Beach’s most coveted vantage points, this architectural tour de force masterfully designed by acclaimed architects Horst Noppenberger and Paul McLean and built to exacting standards by Prestige Builders redefines coastal luxury living. Showcasing unparalleled 180-degree ocean views, this gated estate captures breathtaking vistas spanning the full coastline, both north and south arguably the finest in all of Laguna Beach. A bold expression of contemporary design, the residence rises nearly 60 feet from floor to rooftop, evoking a sense of floating above the ocean below while offering complete privacy and jaw-dropping views from every room. The dramatic entry sequence, defined by monumental vertical white concrete walls and a stone driveway that curves to a crescent-shaped entry, sets a striking tone of sophistication upon arrival. Designed to maximize the immersive ocean experience, the interior blends a refined material palette of custom hand-troweled epoxy flooring with hand-finished oak, creating a warm, minimalist interior that flows effortlessly throughout. Floor-to-ceiling glass and automated disappearing Fleetwood doors seamlessly connect expansive interiors with sun-soaked terraces and a negative-edge pool and spa framed in stone. Elevating the art of home entertainment, the residence features a state-of-the-art theater, full bar, and temperature-controlled wine cellar creating the ultimate environment for hosting friends and family. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen features Poggenpohl cabinetry, a glowing Cristallo quartzite island, Miele and Gaggenau appliances, and a fully equipped butler’s kitchen blending function with refined design for both everyday living and elevated culinary experiences. Smart home technology powered by Control4, including automated lighting, climate control, and a comprehensive security system, enhances ease and peace of mind. Crowning the home, the penthouse-level primary suite spans the entire fourth floor, offering sweeping ocean views, dual walk-in closets, Poggenpohl cabinetry, and an oversized soaking tub for two. An oversized 3.5-car garage, private elevator, direct access to preserve trails, and proximity to Newport Coast, Fashion Island, and John Wayne Airport round out this exceptional offering.
