  The prime Laguna Beach oceanfront locations are predominantly those selected in the 1920’s. Constructed for the J. Roy Smith ranching family in 1928, 989 Cliff Drive is an estate-style home with one of those choice locales on renowned Shaw’s Cove in Laguna Beach. The classically designed Mediterranean Revival beach-front home has been restored gloriously, and the promontory placement affords stunning ocean views from the multiple beachfront terraces and all major rooms of the home. Walled from the street, the entrance to the home meanders through magnificent gardens and includes a stone terrace anchored by an outdoor fireplace. The clean lines of the interior spaces, with exquisite original artisan tile and iron work, allow flexibility in style. Private stairs access the beach. The home includes four bedroom suites including the master - updated with a nod to the heritage, but re-imagined and outfitted for today. Views from the master suite are unmatched – the pearl necklace of Laguna Beach coastline seen by so many in the paintings of the Laguna plein-air masters. Original touches include a private 'beach garage' on the sand with room for kayaks and paddle boards - a feature that cannot be added to today's oceanfront homes.

The multi-level residence, formerly home to one of Hollywood’s leading actresses, is terraced down a bluff and offers direct access to the beach below, with numerous decks and balconies offering outdoor enjoyment above the sea, and a spacious front courtyard with mature tropical landscaping for private entertaining.

Custom antiqued-white cabinetry distinguishes a remodeled kitchen that hosts granite countertops, a Le Cornue range, built-in refrigerator and a wine cooler. Wood floors, period-perfect wrought-iron detailing, whole-house audio, crown molding and colorful Spanish tile stair risers lend style throughout the villa.

  Built in 1928, this exquisite Spanish Mediterranean estate boasts a number of special features that simply would not be possible today, including a beautiful promontory location and a unique beach garage right on the sand. Gorgeous architectural details and bespoke finishes throughout. The stately living room opens to a formal dining room, each wrapped in captivating ocean vistas. The chef's kitchen is filled with custom cabinetry and premium appliances. Upstairs, a breathtaking sunroom opens to the ocean air. The master suite features vaulted ceilings, a balcony, a custom dressing area and an en suite spa bathroom. Three more bedroom suites with private baths provide space for friends and family. Living spaces open to quintessential red-tile terraces and staircases to the beach. High walls and hedges create an interior courtyard where lush landscaping surrounds a stone terrace with an outdoor fireplace, barbecue grill and pizza oven. This location is among the most beautiful in all of Southern California with seemingly endless views of the ocean and southern coastline. Being situated on North Laguna Beach's less traveled Shaw's Cove makes it ideally positioned for privacy and easy departures, and its parking for eight cars is indispensable in the busy summer months. Located just minutes from downtown Laguna, restaurants and galleries, and right on the City Trolley route for effortless local travel.
