6 Barranca Way, Laguna Beach, CA 92651

Positioned in the center of the bluff above Three Arch Bay Beach and prominently extending west beyond neighboring homes, is this historic Laguna Beach estate established in 1933. Behind a gated entry, charming brick and stone pathways connect the four-bedroom, five-bathroom main residence and adjacent carriage house to a bounty of oceanfront patios and a set of private stairs that lead to the pristine beach below. Thoughtful maintenance has preserved the character of the home while a 1983 expansion and recent upgrades provide modern comforts to new generations including a kitchen fit with top-of-the-line Viking appliances, farmhouse sink, and slab countertops. Stunning wood built-ins, wood-framed windows, wainscoting, and tray ceilings are evidence of the expert craftsmanship that has withstood the test of time. The spacious main residence offers formal and casual living spaces, formal dining, breakfast nook with balcony, and four en suite bedrooms including a sumptuous master suite showcasing lofty peaked ceilings with exposed wood beams, brick fireplace, and bath featuring dual sinks, vanity, and oversized tub. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac with no parallel structure to the north, the home enjoys enhanced privacy and panoramic ocean, Catalina Island, and coastline views from nearly every room. Residents also enjoy access to Three Arch Bay community amenities including 24-hour guarded gates, clubhouse, park, tennis, and community socials.
