Perfectly sited and architecturally stunning, the residence at 818 Hillcrest Drive delivers the best of Laguna Beach living. Conceived by legendary architect Mark Singer, the striking lines of the home make a distinct street presence. The open plan and abundant glass maximize the incredible, panoramic ocean and city views from most rooms, and multiple outdoor spaces allow for the best of the indoor/outdoor living that are a hallmark of coastal Orange County. Amazingly given the abundant views, the home sits just blocks from some of the best California beaches, shopping and restaurants. The interior does not disappoint - a gallery entry leads to a great room with soaring ceilings, with a generous dining room and open kitchen close by. The main living level also holds the ocean view primary suite with office alcove, a media den and no less than three outdoor spaces including a massive ocean view deck off the great room, a sheltered deck for cooler winter nights, and a landscaped rear yard. The additional three lower level bedrooms are well-appointed, providing flexibility for guests, media spaces, or a personal gym. Finishes throughout accent the architecture in both aesthetic and quality - impeccable. The kitchen is equipped for the most discriminating with high-end appliances, sleek millwork and countertops, and plentiful storage. A two-car garage enters from a large driveway, a rarity in desirable north Laguna. Thoughtful systems like whole-house water filtration and water softening add to the ease of living. The home could easily serve as a primary residence, or lock and leave as a wonderful vacation retreat. With so much to offer in such a stunning architectural package, 818 Hillcrest Drive is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of California coastal living.
