Listing of the Day  

Location: Laguna Beach, California   

Price: $19.95 million

Among the vistas you can see from this cliffside home in Laguna Beach, California, are Catalina Island, a rocky channel island that serves as a summer escape point for Angelenos, and through to the stunning private beach of Irvine Cove.

"Nobody can deny that the ocean views and the sunsets, from this house, are breathtaking," said co-listing agent Gina Blancarte of The Agency.

Geographically, the home is located on Emerald Point, a rocky outcropping sandwiched between two picturesque coves, Cameo and Emerald Bay, in the Emerald Bay community. "It’s an exclusive, guard-gated community of 500 homes," Ms. Blancarte said. "This community is very active and, within the gates, the residents enjoy amenities like professional tennis courts, a community pool and spa, a park and clubhouse, and beach volleyball."

Inside, the master bedroom is spacious, offering a private office area, a terrace and dressing areas. The master bathroom comes complete with a soaking tub, thoughtfully positioned for maximum views. The communal spaces have been designed to bring the outdoors in with retractable walls of windows.

"What’s quite impressive is the interior of the home, which is done in Venetian plaster from floor to ceiling," Ms. Blancarte said. "You walk in and your eye focuses on these beautiful, white Venetian plaster walls and you think that you’re somewhere like Mykonos, Greece. Then, around every corner you have perfectly framed pictures of the ocean view via these massive windows," she added.

The Stats

Five bedrooms and seven full bathrooms fill out the floorplan of this 7,078-square-foot space (the lot size is 13,812 square feet).

Amenities

There are three fireplaces throughout the home, and an outdoor fire pit for enjoying year-round sunsets.

There’s also a two-car garage with a separate detached garage for one additional vehicle.

Neighborhood Notes

An area like this, which is full of amenities and views, elicits a hefty price tag. "It’s no stranger to sales north of $20 million. 171 Emerald Bay was the most recent record breaking sale in the neighborhood for $35.5 million," said Ms. Blancarte.
