J.J. Ballesteros, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Newport Beach office of Coldwell Banker Realty, has listed a beachfront property for $8,500,000. Situated at 1603 S Coast Highway in Laguna Beach, Calif., the three-bedroom, three-bathroom and approximately 2,364-square-foot one-of-a-kind home was built in 2003 and designed by local architect Morris Skenderian. It is located where Bluebird Canyon Drive meets the sand in the Shoals Building, formerly known as the Shoals Motel.
“In an incomparable beach location, neighbors refer to living in this community like being on a permanent vacation,” said Ballesteros. “In 17 years only one unit has sold and only two of the units are primary residences while the others are second or third homes.”
Upon entering the front door to the enclave you are greeted by a shared entertainer’s courtyard with fireplace, BBQ, bar with TV, sofas, tables and a kitchen perfect for private gatherings. The home encompasses an ocean-view living room with fireplace and glass doors to the approximately 1,200-square-foot deck above the sand. The open concept kitchen with an island and stainless steel appliances flows seamlessly to a dining area. Also opening to the back deck, the master bedroom offers office space, walk-in closet and bathroom with dual sinks, spa tub and glass-enclosed shower. In addition to underground parking with a security gate, the property includes a side yard with shower, racks for surfboards and side gate steps from the sand. There is a maintenance service five-days a week in the morning, which keeps the grounds pristine.
