Property Description
An opportunity to build a dream ocean-view estate on an impressive, oversized parcel in the highly desirable North Laguna Beach location. The potential of this lot has been translated into a vision for a breathtaking contemporary property by an architectural firm helmed by the renowned Anders Lasater. Permits pulled and shovel ready! Grading has already been completed and new owner can begin construction of an approximately 5,200-square-foot three-bedroom residence with a private, separate ADU immediately after assuming ownership. Maximizing the incredible coastline views as far as Dana Point and Catalina Island sunsets, this home would also feature massive outdoor decks, including a covered verandah off the family room, complete with a fireplace. To capitalize on the mild Southern California climate, the rear yard was envisioned with an outdoor shower, a spa, a BBQ area, and a convenient full bathroom accessed from the outside. A three-car garage, 10' ceilings, and a rare elevator to all three levels complete the list of design features. 990 Hillcrest combines the privacy of an elevated lot with a convenient North Laguna location: minutes away from its beaches and downtown, as well as within easy access to Newport Beach, local freeways, and the airport.
