First time on market in Three Arch Bay, 48 N Vista De Catalina is a beautifully reimagined coastal residence showcasing sweeping ocean, Catalina Island, whitewater, North Coastline and Palos Verdes views from an exceptional end-of-cul-de-sac setting. Offering approximately 4,000 square feet with four bedrooms and four baths on an expansive 13,211 square foot lot, the three level home was taken down to the studs and extensively rebuilt beginning in 2003, with architecture by David Fink, construction by Vern Buwalda. Thoughtful craftsmanship and custom finishes are found throughout, including Brazilian rosewood cabinetry, Fleetwood windows and doors, and distinctive copper detailing. A dramatic great room with soaring beamed ceilings open to the remarkable coastal panorama, while four major decks create multiple spaces to enjoy the ocean views and Southern California indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Ocean views continue throughout the residence, including from the lower-level bedroom, and each of the four bedrooms features an en-suite bath.
The home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated with newer multi-zone air conditioning, hot water recirculation, water softening and filtration systems, electric-operated feature, and integrated security and fire alarm systems. An attached two-car garage provides additional convenience. Set on one of Three Arch Bay's larger parcels, the property also offers potential for an ADU, creating an intriguing opportunity to further enhance an already special coastal residence. A rare combination of privacy, scale, craftsmanship and extraordinary views in one of Laguna Beach's most coveted guard-gated communities, Three Arch Bay.
