The Residence
Meticulous from the Dutch door inward.
Set behind a circular drive beneath a single tall pine, this single-story Cape Cod opens through a custom white-oak Dutch door into a vaulted, light-filled entry. A Jim Olarte rope chandelier hangs above a custom white-oak bookshelf — recessed-lit, with a rolling library ladder — setting a tone of quiet, considered craft.
Reimagined throughout by interior designer Tania Cassill of Huit Designs, and offered fully furnished — designer-curated down to the smallest fitting.
Living RoomA Calacatta Apuano hearth beneath vaulted ceilings.
The living room is anchored by a custom Calacatta Apuano marble fireplace and crowned with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings. Custom built-in cabinets with recessed lighting frame the hearth, while glass doors and motorized shades open the room to ocean and canyon light beyond.

Chef's KitchenA true chef's kitchen, built to perform.
A classic chef’s kitchen, rebuilt around a custom ILVE range and a custom plaster hood, pairs leathered Gabbana-stone counters and backsplash with panel-ready Sub-Zero refrigeration and a Bosch dishwasher, a Hammerstone brass bar sink and Waterstone fixtures — opening through a custom six-foot awning window for a seamless indoor–outdoor space.

Where the patio ends, the Pacific begins.
Al fresco dining, a built-in grill and a fire-table lounge all face ocean, canyon and city-light views — with the day closing on the kind of sunset Laguna is named for.
Primary SuiteThree en-suite retreats — one resort-like primary.
Set on a single level, all three bedrooms are private en-suite retreats. The primary opens through folding glass doors to an ancient olive and the canyon beyond — vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings overhead, a California Closets walk-in alongside and motorized blackout shades. A second bedroom is wrapped in custom white-oak cabinetry, while a third turns playful beneath a painted cloud mural.

Primary BathSpa-grade baths in honed Calacatta Viola.
The primary bath is wrapped in honed Calacatta Viola marble — integrated counters and sinks, custom white-oak cabinetry, Zellige-tile floors and shower walls, heated floors and a motorized skylight, finished with Rohl Edwardian fixtures and a Toto Neorest. A leathered Saratoga-quartzite powder room carries the detailing through.
