Understated attention has created a rare opportunity: with vision and proper stewardship, the next owner can transform the property into something truly exceptional and unlock its full value. Set directly on the sand in one of Laguna Beach's most coveted enclaves, this striking modern residence presents a rare chance to own a true beachfront jewel-where bold architecture meets the rhythm of the waves. Designed by an award-winning Horst architects and masterfully constructed in 2004 of steel, concrete, and glass, the home spans approximately 3,500 square feet across four dramatic levels, each embracing panoramic ocean views that stretch endlessly across the horizon. A private elevator glides between floors, offering effortless access from the sand level to the top floor office. With its clean lines and timeless modern aesthetic, the home offers the perfect canvas for personalization. Thoughtful updates could transform this architectural statement into a world-class coastal retreat-whether as a serene escape or an iconic showpiece. The intelligent floor plan includes stacked parking for four cars (a rare luxury in this prime location) and a flexible lower level featuring two ¾ baths and a powder room, ideal for reimagining as additional bedrooms, guest quarters, or an entertainment space. Every moment here is framed by the sights and sounds of the Pacific-morning walks on the beach, golden sunsets over the water, and the soothing pulse of waves just beyond your windows. Opportunities like this-an oceanfront home directly on the sand in Laguna Beach-are exceedingly rare. For the discerning buyer with vision, this property offers the foundation to create an extraordinary modern masterpiece and an enduring legacy by the sea.
