Property Description

Set directly on the sand of coveted Fisherman’s Cove, 675 Cliff Drive presents an exceedingly rare opportunity to claim a landmark oceanfront position in North Laguna Beach. Curated for an active oceanfront lifestyle, the residence provides effortless access to the cove for kayaking, paddle boarding, and coastal recreation, anchored by practical conveniences rarely found on the sand—including generous ocean gear utility space and coveted parking for up to eight vehicles including an enclosed two-car garage with overhead storage. Embodying a clean, light-infused coastal sensibility, the home pairs timeless architectural elements with spacious, modern volume, framing sweeping panoramas of the Pacific from nearly every vantage point. The main level unfolds beneath airy 10' ceilings, centered around a beautifully remodeled kitchen and fluid gathering spaces washed in soft seaside light with wall-to-wall pocket doors gliding completely out of sight to connect the interior with a wide oceanfront terrace. The ever-present, soothing rhythm of the waves sets the cadence of the day and becomes the only sound you hear at night, ushering in peaceful sleep. Designed with hospitality in mind, an entire entertainment level features a full bar with a new bottle refrigerator, separate custom wine cellar, fireplace, and gathering space that opens out to a sheltered ocean-view balcony. Equally private, the primary suite serves as an elevated sanctuary with uninterrupted marine vistas, a spa-caliber bath with a steam sauna, and a generous walk-in dressing room. Across the multilevel layout, secondary bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility, complemented by a detached, cabana-style studio complete with its own private patio, kitchenette, and bath—ideal for extended visitors, live-in guests, or a dedicated retreat. Rounding out this coastal haven are essential conveniences including dedicated utility and laundry rooms. Minutes from Laguna Beach’s downtown galleries, bistros, and shopping, this residence delivers a luxury lifestyle along Southern California’s most treasured coastline.
