Description

Enchanting storybook cottage and the perfect summer escape in Three Arch Bay! Enter through the private courtyard gate to the most exquisite, bespoke single-level cottage. Quiet location on the ocean side of PCH with close proximity to the private beach access and TAB's numerous amenities. Truly a rare offering for this level of incredible beauty, sophistication, luxury and refinement in this highly sought-after gated seaside community. Completed in 2020, the 2-year “down to the studs” major remodel transformed the vintage timeworn beach house to a magnificent residence with 180-degree ocean,full Catalina Island, breathtaking sunsets and north coast views as the backdrop. This jewel currently appears in a 10-page feature in Traditional Home magazine (Spring 2023), celebrating the petite beach cottage’s return to its circa 1930s glamorous roots while maintaining all the original charm. Every surface and system inside and outside the property is new—with the exception of the original hardwood floors, vaulted wood ceiling, and wood burning fireplace—as envisioned by the famed Designer for her Laguna Beach sanctuary. The cottage lives large with vaulted beamed ceilings and matte white custom milled wood-clad walls with cleverly hidden display/storage cabinets. The gorgeous living room highlights a bespoke hand-carved wood mantle surround and marble hearth fireplace and opens to the panoramic view deck and lush backyard garden. A well-appointed kitchen features a luxe Lacanche 5-burner gas range and is adjacent to the sunny breakfast/bistro room looking out to the aromatic garden courtyard. The sublime formal dining room hides a secret green lacquered "speakeasy" bar. Extensive transformation features: New exterior, insulation, roof, electrical, plumbing (complete Pex re-piping, “always hot” tankless system, kitchen water purifier), HVAC, custom windows/doors/gates, lighting, Ipe deck and new railing, fixtures, hardware, faucets, hinges, custom shades, landscaping, irrigation, EV port & much more. A stunning collection of materials and hardware is showcased throughout with one-of-a-kind custom-made finishes, numerous antique fixtures collected, and flooring reclaimed from European villages such as 18th century French Buget cobbles & 17th century Belgian Brick—all personally created, curated or resourced by the Designer. The home’s elevated perch above the oceanfront street below frames coastal vistas from nearly every room. (Features list & video available.)
