Laguna Beach, Kalifornia 92651, USA

An architectural tour de force located within the ultra-premier southern California beach community of Irvine Cove, a sought-after enclave acclaimed for its exclusivity and pristine sandy beach. The home, designed by renowned Horst Architects, deftly blends mid-century lines with contemporary stylings. Simplicity makes a bold statement with the clean white box framing the home. The entry sequence for this home is dramatic with steps ascending along the infinity edge pool, leading to a spacious outdoor dining area accented with an extended linear fire feature, followed by steps over the pool via floating concrete pads, then approaching the large pivot entry door. Oversized sliding glass doors pocket completely away to dissolve the physical boundaries between interior and exterior, creating an uninterrupted flow from the central courtyard through the main living space to the pool area, all against the panoramic backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. Massive walls of cast concrete are a counterpoint to the structure's strong horizontal lines, imbuing the house with strength and permanence. The heart of the home is adorned with a gourmet kitchen with Gaggenau and Bosch appliances, complete with a separate prep kitchen, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. The open concept great room seamlessly combines the kitchen, family, and living room, creating an inviting space for relaxation and entertainment, surrounded by ocean vistas and the luxurious infinity edge pool. The dramatic primary suite is a true sanctuary, with sliding wood privacy shades, an opulent fire feature, and a luxurious bathroom with a massive, oversized shower area with a glass ceiling for moments of pure tranquility. For health enthusiasts, there is an indoor/outdoor gym area with an adjacent sauna and steam shower. Located in the northernmost end of Laguna Beach, Irvine Cove is a 24-hour guard-gated community of approximately 110 homes. Residents of Irvine Cove enjoy association tennis courts, an oceanfront park and private access to the spectacular Irvine Cove Beach.
