How do you describe a home where the 'feeling' is much greater than the words you can put on a page? 1080 Noria is one of these unique properties that truly come alive when you walk through the door. On an ocean view double lot in Laguna Beach's Arch Beach Heights, the home's unique floorplan creates a huge amount of open and sheltered outdoor space that are as much a part of the living spaces as any of the interior rooms in the home. A bevy of features not normally available in this neighborhood add to the magic: more than 1000 square feet of upper and lower covered deck spaces; a large rear yard with magnificent hardscape; a curved drive to an oversized garage; a generously over-sized primary suite; a beautifully outfitted kitchen; multiple fireplaces. This is a home to be lived in and enjoyed daily. Unique artistic touches abound... custom blown glass light fixtures, a wonderfully retro mid-century entrance door, atrium staircase, custom laser-cut art railings in the outdoor spaces. The upper ocean-view level contains the main living spaces - great room, kitchen, and primary suite along with a wall of glass opening to the upper decks. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms (one is currently used as an office) and a tremendous amount of storage with almost all rooms opening to the lower patios. Just down the street is Moulton Meadows Park with trailheads, sport courts, and - of course - the grassy meadow. Just down the hill is all that make Laguna Beach such a special place - beaches, restaurants, galleries and shopping. Some homes are more like museums, some are purely functional. The best homes - like 1080 Noria - are those that strike the balance that truly elevates our daily lives.
