About this home

Within the guard-gated coastal enclave of Emerald Bay, perched above the famed shoreline of Irvine Cove with sweeping unobstructed views spanning Catalina Island and the open Pacific, 145 Emerald Bay represents a rare legacy offering in one of Laguna Beach’s most coveted oceanfront communities. Positioned along Emerald Bay’s premier north point, the residence captures a commanding panorama of crashing white water, endless coastal horizons, and the natural beauty of the cove below — a setting that feels both extraordinarily private and profoundly connected to the sea. Encompassing approximately 7,564 square feet, the five-bedroom, seven-bath estate pairs timeless architectural character with an atmosphere of understated grandeur and refined coastal living. A welcoming entry courtyard anchored by a fireplace introduces the home with warmth and elegance, while expansive terraces along the main living level create a spectacular setting for entertaining against a backdrop of shifting sunsets and sparkling coastline. Below, the lower grounds take on a more relaxed coastal sensibility, featuring outdoor dining, a built-in barbecue, fire pit seating, heated spa, and beautifully layered landscaping — all framed by mesmerizing white water, sunset, and ocean vistas. Originally conceived with timeless European influence, the residence carries a stately architectural presence defined by refined stonework, graceful proportions, and enduring classical detail, all softened by an inviting livability designed for modern coastal life. Inside, formal and informal living spaces unfold with balance and intention, from gracious entertaining rooms to relaxed gathering spaces connected to the chef’s kitchen. Dual private offices offer flexibility for executive workspaces, creative studios, or quiet retreat. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary overlooking the Pacific, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring an oversized walk-in shower, soaking tub, expansive walk-in closets, and tranquil ocean-facing outlooks. Each additional bedroom suite continues the home’s emphasis on privacy and comfort, offering ensuite baths and generous walk-in closets throughout. Adding to the property’s long-term significance, approved architectural plans by acclaimed Laguna Beach architect Rory Foubister envision a sophisticated transformation of the estate, including a new infinity-edge pool and spa, a refined soft contemporary aesthetic, and the addition of a private ADU....
