On the Sand in Laguna

On a private street in Laguna Beach, behind two gated entrances, sits more than an acre of direct beachfront. The residence was designed by the architect Fred Briggs in glass, handcrafted wood and architectural concrete, framed by views of Catalina Island and the coastline in both directions.

The terraces alone add more than 2,000 square feet of oceanfront living. Gated steps lead straight to the sand, past a pool and spa, a sprawling lawn, a private amphitheater and an ocean-view tennis court.

Inside are six en suite bedrooms in the principal residence. The primary retreat is the showpiece: a rotating bed beneath a ceiling that opens to the stars, and a spiral staircase with a glass floor rising to a private library above the Pacific. A cinema, wine cellar, fitness studio, sauna and steam complete the house, with a two-bedroom guest house apart from it and an eight-car garage with its own catering kitchen.
