741 Marlin Dr, Laguna Beach CA

Sitting high above Victoria Beach, 741 Marlin Drive is located at the end of a cul-de-sac on a single-loaded street. A soft contemporary, this thoughtfully crafted and meticulously designed 3 bed, 2.5 bath home utilizes angled lines, warm wood, ocean views, and natural light in a way rarely seen. Past the two-car garage and through a gated courtyard, one is welcomed by an oversized pivot front door into an inviting entryway bathed in natural light. The entry-level is adorned with a generous, well-lit office with access to the entryway courtyard. A few steps down will lead to a spacious living area with dramatic cathedral ceilings, one of three fireplaces, and large windows framing the ocean and neighborhood views. The tastefully updated ocean view kitchen has high-end appliances, a large island, and leads to a patio spacious enough for a large hot tub and outdoor dining area. Adjoining the kitchen is a separate family room which also features a fireplace. Off the family room, one will notice a soothing sauna and a separate shower. Upstairs, the open primary bedroom has an ensuite dual vanity bathroom, yet another fireplace, and a patio with the best views in the house. One guest bedroom offers gracious views of the Pacific, while the other is bathed in natural ambient light from the custom windows. Both share a recently remodeled bathroom with dual vanities and an oversized shower. With only a short walk to Moulton Meadows Park, this home is surrounded by the best that Laguna Beach has to offer… views, proximity to downtown, and a quiet, tranquil respite from the bustle of the village. One must come to see 741 Marlin Drive to fully appreciate the unique landscape and views of the Portafina neighborhood in Laguna Beach.
