The Basics: To celebrate Memorial Day, we�re kicking off Summer 2011 with a $32 million 5 bedroom, 10 bath, 8400 square foot beach house in Laguna Beach, California. Southern Californians know Laguna Beach as a seaside resort and artists community about 90 minutes south of L.A. The Pageant of the Masters has been a Laguna summer tradition since 1933 with a hiatus during World War II. The Pageant features tableaux vivants or �living pictures,� groups of costumed models, carefully posed and lit, to recreate works of art. Since 1966, art enthusiasts and collectors have been coming to the Sawdust Festival to purchase the wares of local artists.
On a more low brow note, Laguna Beach was the home of the eponymous MTV reality show starring Lauren Conrad, Kristin Cavallari, Stephen Colleti, and Lo Bosworth.
The Details: This spectacular contemporary Craftsman belongs to the exclusive Montage Residences which include access to the Montage Laguna Beach hotel amenties including Spa Montage, Mosaic Pool, dining at The Loft and Studio as well as concierge and housekeeping services. The 150 plus square feet of mahogany and glass doors combine with soaring ceilings to bring the outdoor ocean view setting inside. The lighting, environmental and audio visual systems are fully integrated.
A perfect setting to enjoy cocktails while watching the sunset.
The expanse of glass surrounding the kitchen offers a seamless transition to the outdoor setting.
The living area features custom lighting and a contemporary fireplace.
The sunrise will greet you in the morning.
The master bath features a fireplace and roman tub.
This ceiling woodwork complements the hardwood floors and wall details.
The Bottom Line: An awe-inspiring ocean view home with hotel amenities and sweeping views of the Pacific sunsets in a charming artists community? We are in!
