Property details

About 1901 Ocean Way

Set in what is arguably the most scenic oceanfront location in Laguna Beach, this iconic residence is set atop the landmark outcropping known as the famed Arch Rock. This private peninsula, reached only via a gated private drive, affords a singular setting with unobstructed 270 degree views of the crashing surf, coves, sunsets and nearly one hundred miles of coastline. The view found here is simply without equal. The extraordinary home created on here is an appropriate complement to the even more extraordinary site. Its tasteful contemporary design was reimagined and rebuilt in recent years with finest materials and is presented in flawless condition. Enveloped in floor-to-ceiling glass walls, every main room has a view up and down the coast. A central great room opens to a protected courtyard terrace suspended above the water (one of seven), and adjoins the entertaining kitchen and formal dining room. Upstairs, the full-floor master suite seemingly floats above the ocean and opens to an extraordinary private view terrace. Two other guest suites (one as a guest house) complete the main areas of the home. All of one’s senses come alive when in residence, as one can experience the varied scents of ocean’s salt spray, the golden rays of the afternoon sun, and the alluring and hypnotic sounds of waves crashing on the shore. One can easily imagine a relaxed life here, surrounded by friends and family, enjoying the ocean throughout the year. A private stair that descends to the coves below provides immediate access to miles of pristine coastline. This location in the highly desirable neighborhood of Woods Cove allows for leisurely walks to morning coffee, while also affording easy pedestrian access to the myriad shops and restaurants of this beloved coastal village.
