Travel to the gorgeous French Countryside without leaving the comfort of Orange County. A unique French Chateau-inspired property in Laguna Beach has just hit the market for $4.3 million.
The tree-lined residence pays homage to simple luxury. The house was designed and previously owned by renowned architect John O'Neil. The cobblestone driveway leads you to an impressive exterior dripping in ivy and decorated with iron lanterns and sconces. As you walk through the entryway, a relaxing ambiance rushes over you thanks to the natural light and cool ocean breeze from the home's numerous balconies.
The layout puts a modern spin on Old World aesthetics, like the rustic kitchen with its state-of-the-art kitchen amenities and family-friendly breakfast nook. The warm lighting illuminates the space gorgeously, giving the home a cozy feel, each room greeting you with perfectly rounded entryways and bright walls. The main seating room directs your eyes up toward the vaulted ceilings and architecturally stunning beams that showcase the gorgeous chandelier. You can practically envision yourself cozying up on the lush, comfortable couch, spending time with family as the crackle of the fireplace keeps you warm.

Throughout the 3,000-square-foot home, there are three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. The main floor bedroom is a bookworm's dream with ample natural light, a cozy fireplace and a bedroom library. As you go up the spiral staircase, you are greeted with the private primary suite with a balcony and an attached home studio that once was where O'Neil created some of his most iconic designs.
Sitting atop a 9,440 square-foot lot, the sizable outdoor space is the perfect place to host guests. The lush gardens, cascading waterfalls, outside patio and fireplace are gorgeous backdrops for entertainment. The grounds of this property are breathtaking and will have homeowners forgetting they are in the middle of bustling Orange County. This magical French home comes straight out of something from your dreams, acting as a haven for romantics.
The property is represented by Seth Nelson and Ariana Gaffoglio of Eklund|Gomes at Douglas Elliman. Check out the listing online for more information about the property or to get in contact with the agents.
