You will never see another home like this. An exquisite, handcrafted three-bedroom, three-bath residence quietly tucked within the sought-after Sea Bluff Canyon community, a small, storybook enclave affectionately known as "Little Big Bear," set amid acres of protected parkland and natural preserve, yet just minutes from the beach. This home is one of the few homes that backs directly to preserved canyon parkland, with walking trails leading all the way to Huntington Beach and Newport Beach. Here, trees sway gently in the breeze, nature lovers enjoy the trails throughout the day, and in the evening, the moon rises softly above the canopy, with the sounds of birds and frogs as a rare, peaceful soundtrack in a coastal setting. This enchanting location provides the perfect backdrop for the home's extraordinary craftsmanship. Inside, the home unfolds with dramatic volume ceilings, exposed wood beams, clerestory windows, and exquisite custom millwork throughout. Rich hickory floors ground the space, while architectural archways and thoughtfully framed openings create a sense of beauty and permanence. A stunning mezzanine gallery overlooks the great room, featuring floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a striking stained-glass window crowning the space, a perfect lounge, library, or retreat. The kitchen and bathrooms showcase custom cabinetry, glass-front uppers, and finely detailed tilework composed of the smallest, most precise pieces, thoughtfully chosen finishes, a testament to craftsmanship rarely seen today. This three-bedroom, three-bath home offers exceptional flexibility and privacy, with two en-suite bedrooms opening directly to a rare expanse of protected green space. This uninterrupted natural backdrop feels worlds away from everyday suburbia. The lower patio, designed as a tranquility garden, includes a gate that opens directly to Canyon Park walking trails. The third bedroom is ideal for guests, an office, or a creative space. Multiple outdoor living areas include two south-facing patio/balconies and a wall-to-wall front balcony. Enjoy resort-style amenities, including a pool, spa, clubhouse, and tennis courts. Surrounded by nature, yet conveniently located within minutes of premier dining, nightlife, and shopping—from the Newport Beach peninsula and Pacific City in Huntington Beach to the Triangle, SOCO Mix, 17th Street in Costa Mesa, South Coast Plaza, Fashion Island, and Lido Marina Village.
