Positioned on one of the most sought-after view corridors in Laguna Beach, 2855 Zell Drive captures a front-row perspective that is nothing short of extraordinary. From its commanding elevation, the residence showcases uninterrupted, cinematic vistas spanning Catalina Island, the full sweep of the Pacific Ocean, sparkling evening city lights, Main Beach’s iconic shoreline, and the coastline extending to Palos Verdes. The kind of view typically reserved for postcards is your everyday backdrop and experienced from nearly every room.
A recent refinement of the property introduced a sophisticated blend of modern comfort and elevated coastal style. The kitchen and family spaces were reimagined with new countertops, beautifully refreshed cabinetry, brass details, designer lighting, and upgraded fixtures, creating a polished environment for both daily living and hosting. A statement limestone fireplace, finished with custom millwork and a slab surround anchors the main living area with understated luxury.
The home’s enhancements extend well beyond aesthetics. Bathrooms were thoughtfully redesigned with new surfaces, hardware, lighting, and tailored details that evoke boutique-hotel appeal. Refinished hardwood flooring, new designer paint across the interior and exterior, upgraded LED lighting throughout, and a curated selection of new fixtures contribute to a cohesive and elevated atmosphere. Modern conveniences such as an EV charging outlet, appliance upgrades, and enhanced exterior safety vents reflect the level of care invested in the residence.
Outdoor spaces were refreshed with new hardscape, landscaping, and thoughtful additions that enhance both curb appeal and livability. Every improvement was made to complement the home’s natural focal point: the sweeping coastal panorama that transitions beautifully from vibrant daytime blues to golden sunsets and shimmering evening lights.
Created for the buyer who values refined living and a world-class view, this home offers a turnkey luxury experience in one of Laguna Beach’s most desirable settings.
