Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted enclave of Mystic Hills, this iconic 1960 mid-century residence showcases breathtaking 270-degree panoramic views of White Water, Coastline, Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Laguna Canyon, and the Surrounding Mountains Ranges, all from its premier setting above Downtown Laguna Beach. Spanning approximately 2,447 square feet on an expansive 9,520 square-foot terraced lot, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home captures stunning views from virtually every room. The main-level wraparound balcony allows you to soak in the breathtaking scenery in complete privacy, while the main-level primary suite offers exceptional convenience. The kitchen is perfectly positioned to enjoy white water ocean vistas and Catalina Island Sunsets that elevate everyday living. The lower level features two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, with sliding doors that open to the generous backyard. Ideal for relaxing in nature, soaking in endless views, or hosting holiday gatherings and dinner parties, this outdoor space enhances the home’s seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Each bedroom showcases unforgettable scenery, creating a true coastal retreat experience. Rich with authentic mid-century character, the home features its original fireplace, beautifully exposed beams, and architectural details that celebrate the era’s timeless design. This is a rare opportunity for a mid-century enthusiast to thoughtfully restore and customize a classic — or for a developer to capitalize on the generous lot size, with potential to build a new construction residence of 4,000+ square feet. Conceptual renderings by local Laguna Beach architect Leigh Snow are available in the listing supplements, offering an inspiring vision of the property’s full potential. Enjoy endless coastal/canyon views and close proximity to Laguna Beach High School, downtown Laguna Beach, Laguna Canyon, the beloved Sawdust Art Festival, Festival of Arts, and Main Beach — along with world-class dining, shopping, and coastal living at its finest.
