1601 Emerald Bay, 92651

And though it may not be the fabled Emerald City, our new listing at 1601 Emerald Bay in Laguna Beach is a place of splendor that’s altogether real. Instead of a world of green–though there is plenty of that in the rolling hills and canyons of the nature preserve behind the property– everything looks azure blue from here, in a spectacular home that seems to float on the sea and in the sky. At 1601 Emerald Bay, you’ll find yourself at the pinnacle of ocean-view living on the highest promontory of one of the most prestigious private beach communities on the West Coast. Gracing a private homesite at the end of a hilltop cul-de-sac, this stylish soft-contemporary residence was designed with walls of glass and large great room spaces to take maximum advantage of its unbelievable panoramas of the Pacific Ocean, Laguna Beach coastline, Emerald Bay and Catalina Island. With its 4,200 square feet of tasteful luxury, including four bedrooms and four baths, as well as an office, gym, expansive view decks and an impressive ocean-view pool and spa, 1601 Emerald Bay reminds you at every turn that you’re certainly not in Kansas anymore. And you truly may never cease to wonder how you arrived in such a paradise. You won’t find this exquisite resort-inspired home at the end of the Yellow Brick Road (though a good case could be made for continuing the allusion. After all, it is on California’s Gold Coast). But not to worry. Just give us a call and we’ll get you there. No red shoes required.
