Tucked along one of North Laguna Beach's most picturesque streets, 530 High Drive is a study in thoughtful design, timeless materials, and bespoke coastal charm. With sweeping ocean and Catalina Island views from nearly every room--and a garden landscape that feels curated rather than planted--this coastal residence balances architectural integrity with relaxed elegance, all while presenting an exceptional opportunity for future expansion.
The home's exterior--a patchwork of earth-toned shingles, copper accents, custom handmade fixtures by local artisans, and lush botanicals--hints at what lies within: a series of warm, light-filled rooms where craftsmanship takes center stage. Vaulted, beamed ceilings and real hardwood floors lend a sense of quiet luxury, while walls of windows draw the eye toward the Pacific.
At the heart of the home, a gracious living room is anchored by a Franklin stove wood-burning fireplace and opens through sliding glass doors to a large ocean-facing deck designed for sunset viewing and outdoor entertaining. The adjacent kitchen is both refined and personal, featuring custom cabinetry and copper detailing.
The private primary suite is tucked into the rear of the home and enjoys tranquil garden vistas, while a west-facing secondary bedroom captures cinematic sunsets and features a cozy loft space--perfect for guests or creative retreat. A lower-level bonus room with office area offers versatile utility, easily adaptable as a studio or gym. An attached two-car garage with direct interior access--a true rarity in Laguna Beach--adds both convenience and additional storage space.
But it's the landscape--enhanced by award-winning landscape architect Ruben Flores--that completes the narrative. A terraced rear garden unfolds in vignettes: a mosaic patio for dining, meandering stone paths, mature fruit trees, and a firepit lounge perched at the top of the lot with a breathtaking coastal panorama.
Ideally situated toward the front of the lot, the property offers development opportunity--whether as a foundation for expansion, the addition of an ADU, or a reimagined estate.
Just moments from Laguna Beach art galleries, iconic beaches, and historic Heisler Park, 530 High Drive is more than a home--it's a lifestyle.
