About 1505 Morningside Drive
Discover a rare architectural masterpiece, offered for the first time in history and exquisitely designed by renowned architect Chris Abel. Nestled into the serene landscape of Bluebird Canyon, this home epitomizes the quintessential Laguna Beach lifestyle with its seamless blend of sophisticated design and breathtaking natural surroundings. Stepping inside this 2,318 square-foot split-level home, you are immediately drawn into its captivating post-and-beam design. The welcoming eat-in kitchen sets a convivial tone, guiding you toward the heart of a residence where floor-to-ceiling windows marry the inside with the outdoors framing magnificent canyon and ocean views. This design truly invokes a coastal treehouse vibe. Find sanctuary in 3 private bedrooms, each opening to its own balcony. The primary suite is the crown jewel, offering ultimate seclusion on a sun-drenched private deck. The lowest level is dedicated to leisure and wellness, a versatile family room or flex space provides ample room for relaxation and recreation. And a private sauna creates a spa-like experience, perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. Outside, the property blends gracefully into the hillside. A built-in bar anchors the backyard, inviting endless opportunities for outdoor gatherings against a backdrop of stunning views. A dedicated workshop offers an ideal space for a home office, storage or expansion. This is a unique chance to claim a piece of Abel architectural history as your home.
