New Construction on a Quiet Cul-de-Sac in Laguna Beach

Some homes are built. A rare few are crafted.

Set in the prime cul-de-sac location in Top of the World, 3002 Dorn Court is one of the few. Rebuilt from the ground up, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers single-level living, ocean views, and a warmth that new construction rarely achieves.

It is now offered at $4,375,000.

Top of the World, Closer Than It Sounds

Top of the World has long been one of Laguna Beach's most desirable addresses.

It sits above the village, with sweeping views of the coastline and the canyons. Alta Laguna Park and the hillside trails are close by. The beaches, galleries and restaurants of downtown Laguna are a short drive down the hill.

The neighborhood has a tight-knit, walkable feel that is hard to find anywhere along the coast. New construction here does not come along often. On a cul-de-sac, with single-level living, it is rarer still.

New Construction With an Old Soul

New construction can feel cold. This home doesn't

Designed by Gregg Abel and built by Schaeffer Custom Home Builder, 3002 Dorn Court has the warmth and permanence of a decades-old estate, with every system and surface brand new.

The difference is in the materials. Reclaimed Honduras mahogany, warm brass accents and handmade tile appear throughout. They give each room texture, history and a quiet sense of craft.

The Details You Notice Second

The ocean view is what you see first. The details are what stay with you.

• The kitchen. Reclaimed Honduras mahogany cabinetry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink and a high-end appliance package, finished with a handmade tile backsplash behind the range.
• The bar. Custom cabinetry, quartz counters and a Soft Tetris tile backsplash, set just off the living room for evenings in or a full house.
• The living room. Distressed maple hardwood underfoot and a gas fireplace with a Veristone surround.
• The patio. French doors open to an expansive front patio with ocean views. Indoors and out become one easy space.
• The primary suite. Reclaimed mahogany windows, door and closet, and a bath with a Victoria & Albert freestanding soaking tub, Newport Brass fixtures, and Argile, basketweave and Onda tile.

The secondary baths carry the same care, each with considered tile, quartz and quality fixtures.

Single-Level Living, Without Compromise

For many buyers, single-level living is not about doing with less. It is about rightsizing: a home that fits how life is lived now, and for years to come.

With four bedrooms on one level and an open kitchen, dining and living area at its center, this floor plan works as well for quiet daily life as it does for entertaining.

Built for Today

Beneath the craftsmanship, the home is equipped for modern life: central air conditioning, owned solar panels, a whole-house water purification system and ceiling fans in every bedroom. A professionally designed audio-video and security infrastructure, with Sonance architectural speakers and pre-wiring throughout, completes the picture.

A Rare Combination

New construction. Single-level living. Designer craftsmanship. Ocean views. A quiet cul-de-sac in Top of the World.

Any one of these is worth seeking out in Laguna Beach. Finding all five in one home is rare.

3002 Dorn Court is now offered at $4,375,000.
