Property Description

Perched atop Balboa Avenue, just steps from Moulton Meadows Park, this 1977 mid-century residence offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, canyon, and coastline. Designed by award-winning architect Blair Ballard, recognized by the Laguna Beach Architectural Guild for excellence in residential design, this home reflects Frank Lloyd Wright's organic architecture philosophy of blending structure and setting in harmony. Its multi-level layout features cedar plank walls and ceilings, expansive glass, strong horizontal lines and a timeless mid-century modern aesthetic.
Two exquisite handcrafted stained-glass installations by Mogens Abel, revered wood carver and longtime Festival of Arts exhibitor, are set in the entry and kitchen ceilings and beautifully infuse the space with color, artistry and Laguna's creative spirit. The primary suite offers stunning ocean views through walls of windows and includes a walk-in closet and a step-down shower with a full-length view window. Sliding glass doors open to the deck with a sunken jacuzzi for enjoying the spectacular sunset views over Victoria Beach. Two additional bedrooms off the main entrance hallway are ideal for a home office or guest room. Both the family room and upper-level den offer captivating ocean views and refreshing coastal breezes.
The side yard patio opens to a trellis covered potting shed and leads down the hill to an ocean-facing greenhouse.
While the home requires some restoration, it is solidly constructed and full of character, including the original built-in seating, hardware and cabinetry. Don't miss this rare opportunity to personalize and revive a living piece of Laguna Beach's celebrated art culture and architectural legacy.
