About 1687 Temple Hills Dr
Perched above the pristine coves of laguna beach, this mid century modern masterpiece echoes the timeless influence of early Frank Loyd Wright design. With iconic post-and-beam construction and dramatic walls of glass, the home is thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping ocean and canyon vistas from every angle. This single level, two bedroom two bath retreat has been beautifully remodeled to blend classic architecture with modern comforts. New floor to ceiling windows and elevated skylights flood the space with natural light, while lush landscaping and panoramic views create a seamless indoor outdoor living experience. Set on nearly 10,000 square feet of flat, useable land, the home offers privacy, serenity, and room to grow-complete with architectural plans included in the sale and potential for an ADU. Inside, a chef's ocean view kitchen flows effortlessly into the open plan living and dining rooms, grounded by rich wood flooring, and elegant stone surfaces throughout. Step outside onto the expansive wrap around deck, where a gentle breeze and post card worthy sunsets await. Cozy up by the wood burning fireplace as day turns into night and the coastline begins to glow. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, an entertainer's dream, or a foundation for future expansion, this one of a kind architectural jewel delivers it all.
