About 1261 Ocean Front
A Rare Oceanfront Opportunity in Laguna Beach Set directly on the sand in one of Laguna Beach’s most exclusive and picturesque locations, this architecturally stunning residence offers the rare chance to own a modern beachfront home with endless potential.

An elevator services all four floors, ensuring seamless access throughout. The home includes stacked parking for four cars — a true luxury in this prime coastal setting.
