Grand scale entertaining is made possible with the expansive gourmet kitchen designed as a focal point of the estate with top-tier appliances, delightful breakfast bar, and thoughtfully arranged butler's pantry. Countless french doors outline the sun-soaked family room beckoning you into your resort style backyard with inground pool and spa adjacent your built-in-barbecue, manicured gardens, and multiple outdoor spaces for entertaining or dining al-fresco with friends and family. On the upper level you'll find the primary suite boasting french doors, private terrace, and a spa inspired ensuite including separate steam shower and bath.

    "The area is great. Schools are top notch & people are very kind. The roads are tore up & lots of vacant buildings. It’s sad "

    "Free trolley and local vehicle transport is free for locals and visitors and makes transportation easy throughout the city, but influx of visitors in warmer months heavily impacts traffic. As a local, riding a bike is easier to get around in than a vehicle when it’s 68° or above."

    "Laguna has a lot of charm, good food and shopping, a variety of coffee shops/cafes, and mostly friendly people. Overall dog friendly but public spaces like side walks, grassy areas, and roads could be better (and the city is slowly but surely updating). "

    "Many families in the area, good schools. Community is rather safe for kids. But mainly the streets aren’t always safe as there are many bad and reckless drivers that come through laguna. That would be my greatest concern as a parent in Laguna. Driver’s education and safety for pedestrians and cyclists "

    "Most of the time there is easy access through the canyon. Sometimes there is traffic, but most the time the drive is great. I love it when I get to drive on PCH to either Newport Beach or Dana Point. It is some of the most beautiful coast in California."

    "Good family neighborhood, nice area, low crime. No sidewalks, so street infrastructure can be unsafe. Parks are driving distance, not many parks in walking distance. PCH and bad drivers are a larger risk. "
