Sited on a smaller bluff top finger jutting out from a larger peninsula, this two story mid century modern with slanted walls of reflective glass and full floor primary suite is perched obliquely above the break of the waves, projecting seaward of neighboring homes, and facing due south with east and west exposures. The result is simply perfect positioning. Nobody can see into the house from any direction, and mature trees help extend that seclusion outside. Morning sun, sunsets and flooded with natural light, but without the dramatic overheating or blinding sun that occurs in homes facing due west (better to have the boldness of late afternoon sunshine illuminating your view of famed Thousand Steps Beach instead of blocking it by baking you into submission on the dreaded window shade pull). And such an indulgent feast for the eyes… Dream like, very close-in, unobstructed and sweeping wraparound views of massive hillsides with lush vegetation, Swiss funiculars and “city lights” at night, rugged bluffs and cliffs with line of sight through an organic bedrock tunnel (daylight visible on the far side part of the year), romantic and grand crescent-shaped beaches with plenty of dry sand, bold rock outcroppings with natural tide pools, contest-worthy surf with a VIEW CORRIDOR RIGHT INSIDE THE WAVE BARRELS FROM EVEN THE INLAND PART OF THE HOUSE, a myriad of marine life amid the deep blue sea, and westward an intimate cuddle cove with glorious Catalina sunsets. Tucked away in an understated enclave, most of the oceanfront homes are terraced down the bluff with only their pedestrian entrance gates and garage doors visible from the road - an ideal development dynamic for higher profile buyers not wanting to advertise wealth at the curb. The community has no HOA, and is situated just off Coast Hwy. near Montage Laguna Beach, on a signaled private street with private beach access.
