It doesn’t get more oceanfront than this Laguna Beach house on a rocky promontory overlooking Arch Rock, which recently hit the market for $34 million.
Reached by a gated driveway, the 3,829-square-foot contemporary-style residence features three bedrooms and five bathrooms. Windows and floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame “270 degree views of the crashing surf, coves, sunsets and nearly one hundred miles of coastline,” according to the listing.
The house originally dates to 1949, but city permits show it has undergone significant remodels, updates and expansion over the decades.
There are seven terraces, one off the great room, adjacent to the oversized dining room and eat-in kitchen with a center island and a casual dining area.
The primary suite, which occupies all of the second level of the house, features an oversized terrace overlooking the surf.
One of the two other bedroom suites is a detached guest house.
A private staircase descends to the shore.
Rob Giem and Garrett Rau of Plus Real Estate are the listing agents.
Documents filed with the California Secretary of State identify the owner as a Delaware-based limited liability company with a local address in Irvine’s Shady Canyon. County records show the property sold in March 2021 for $23 million.
Since October 2023, it has appeared on and off the market as a rental, commanding up to $100,000 per month, according to Zillow.com.
