Star Pine Point | Laguna Beach

Star Pine Point is an exquisite expression of classic Craftsman styling framed by the most breathtaking vista in all of Laguna Beach. Designed by a noted architect for himself, the home was artfully positioned on the large double lot to capture views as though they were composed on an artist’s canvas. The extraordinary parcel is sited on a natural promontory offering privacy and unobstructed views of the breaking surf, Santa Catalina, city lights and the coastline stretching to the Malibu Hills. The gently sloping lot in Upper Diamond presented a rare opportunity to build this 5,450 square foot masterpiece on two levels allowing the living areas to spill directly onto the expansive lawn, a fusion of lush foliage, and a remote lounging viewpoint. The sizable flat parcel beautifully lends itself to the addition of a pool if so desired. The home offers a tranquil ambiance throughout the generously scaled rooms that are enhanced by high ceilings, custom moldings, built-ins, gleaming walnut wood flooring, custom stone and tile, original custom lighting and hardware, laminated windows – perfectly aligned with the best views, and three marble and limestone fireplaces. Encompassing four bedrooms, four and a half baths plus guest quarters – with its own private entry, living/dining room and second full kitchen/laundry, the home is perfect for enjoying life’s best moments with family and friends. Other spaces include a light and airy living room, formal dining, library, and breakfast room and professional-grade kitchen expanding into a warm and relaxed family room, plus an exercise room and office. Three car garage and guest parking for four. This home has all of the charm and quality of yesteryear with a contemporary floor plan and modern technology such as elevator, advanced indoor/outdoor audio system, security system and Lutron Lighting. Beyond superlatives, this estate truly offers the penultimate Laguna living experience.
