The property overlooks an ever changing view of Laguna Beach whitewater, Catalina Island, and on to the Palos Verdes Peninsula The house was taken down to the studs for a complete remodel and the result is a home which has a comfortable, modern and stylish vibe. The upper level, or heart of the home, is an amazingly open airy living space. It includes a living room with fireplace, dining room and a well proportioned modern kitchen, all of which come with ocean views. Passing through sets of glass doors you access a panoramic view terrace. This oversized “outside room” is large enough to sun, sit or dine with friends and family, whilst taking in those magical sunsets. A fourth ensuite bedroom combined with a flexible space off the kitchen, ideal for a home office or media room, round out the upper level. The lower level hosts three bedrooms, including a sizeable master suite with its own private ocean view terrace. All three baths have been updated and share a crisp aesthetic and thoughtful design. In addition to a two car garage, with workspace, the front drive can accommodate two extra cars. 1144 Katella’s location is ideal – a short cul-de-sac frequented almost entirely by residents and has the benefit of being considered one of the few front-row streets that share this incredible coastline vista. Just move in and enjoy the view and your spectacular home!
