Description
Enter through the private courtyard gate to the most exquisite, bespoke cottage in coveted lower Three Arch Bay. Truly a rare offering for this level of incredible beauty, sophistication, luxury and refinement in this highly sought-after gated seaside community. Completed in 2020, the 2-year “down to the studs” major remodel transformed the vintage timeworn beach house to a magnificent residence with 180-degree ocean, full Catalina Island, breathtaking sunsets and north coast views as the backdrop. This jewel currently appears in a 10-page feature in Traditional Home magazine (Spring 2023), celebrating the petite beach cottage’s return to its circa 1930s glamorous roots while maintaining all the original charm. Every surface and system inside and outside the property is new—with the exception of the original hardwood floors, vaulted wood ceiling, and wood burning fireplace—as envisioned by the famed Designer for her Laguna Beach sanctuary. The transformation was meticulous and extensive: New exterior, insulation, roof, electrical, plumbing (complete Pex re-piping, “always hot” tankless system, kitchen water purifier), HVAC, custom windows/doors/gates, lighting, Ipe deck and new railing, fixtures, hardware, faucets, hinges, custom shades, landscaping, irrigation, EV port and much more. A stunning collection of materials and hardware is showcased throughout with one-of-a-kind custom-made finishes, numerous antique fixtures collected, and flooring reclaimed from European villages such as 18th century French Buget cobbles and 17th century Belgian Brick—all personally created, curated or resourced by the Designer. This single-level cottage lives large with vaulted beamed ceilings and matte white custom milled wood-clad walls with cleverly hidden display/storage cabinets. The enchanting living room highlights a bespoke hand-carved wood mantle surround and marble hearth fireplace and opens to the panoramic view deck and lush backyard garden. A well-appointed kitchen features a gorgeous Lacanche 5-burner gas range and is adjacent to the sunny breakfast/bistro room looking out to the aromatic garden courtyard. The sublime formal dining room hides a secret green lacquered "speakeasy" bar. The home’s elevated perch above the oceanfront street below frames coastal vistas from nearly every room. Quiet location on the ocean side of PCH and in close proximity to the private beach access and Three Arch Bay's numerous amenities. (Full features list & video available.)
