Laguna’s “Hidden Gem”. This art-filled, designer Penthouse is owned by a renowned artist, and author Paul Ecke. He lived in this historic unique property for many years. The property exemplifies luxurious contemporary living with warm old-world charm. The ultimate in indoor-outdoor living, it has 2 bedrooms plus a comfortable den looking on to a delightful patio and lush garden. Enjoy the multi zone air conditioning and heating system. The 2 bathrooms are beautifully appointed with all the comforts of home. The penthouse has a private meditation garden patio and rooftop ocean view sunset deck.
Enjoy sweeping ocean views from this prime Pacific Coast Highway location, just two blocks from the crashing surf of Victoria Beach and one block from The Montage, Laguna's renowned resort and spa.
Top-of-the-line kitchen appliances, refrigerator with automatic ice maker, Keurig coffee maker, electric coffee maker, blender, toaster and electric tea kettle with granite counter tops, and black lacquer cabinets, make this home an entertainer's dream. It's garden patio with a propane barbecue and peaceful waterfall provides the perfect setting for either a cocktail party or a quiet evening at home dining alfresco. The patio staircase leads to a rooftop deck with a table, four chairs and a lit umbrella. The sunset deck has panoramic views of spectacular ocean vistas or Catalina sunsets, and soothing ocean breezes. All these amenities await you, from free panoramic wi-fi, fine bed linens, blackout draperies. You will be also be greeted with fresh flowers and chocolates on your arrival.
Truly an ideal location, this luxurious retreat is a hidden gem. Its perched atop Laguna's fine gift boutique, The Black Iris. It is just 2 doors from Laguna's Zagat rated two restaurants, Dizz's which is truly a step back in time. The Drake fine dining, live jazz club.
Walk one block to Laguna's newly renovated shopping center which is home to our largest upscale grocery store, Gelsons, CVS Pharmacy, 3 restaurants, yoga center, hair salon and veterinary clinic (yes, we're small dog friendly.*) in addition, some of Laguna's finest hiking trails are only 1/2 mile away.
So whether you wish to stroll to the Montage for a day of spa services or golf, hike Laguna's vista trails, enjoy Laguna's world-famous summertime Pageant of the Masters, or spend a glorious day on Laguna's world-class beaches this lovely hideaway is your home away from home. A free trolley makes access to all of Laguna' attractions easy! A private parking space comes with your rental, and day trips to Disneyland, Sea world, Legoland and Knotts Berry Farm are all less than 60 minutes away.
We are also within close proximity of Surf and Sand Hotel, Monarch Beach Waldorf Resort Spa and Golf, and Ritz Carlton Hotel. Boating and water sports available in nearby Dana Point Harbor or Newport Beach.
Come discover the luxury of Laguna's hidden gem!
