Perched Above the Pacific | 2855 Zell, Laguna Beach

Perched high above the coastline in Laguna Beach’s coveted Top of the World community

This fully reimagined residence offers a rare combination of panoramic views, refined design, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. From its elevated vantage point, the home captures sweeping vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, dramatic canyon landscapes, sparkling city lights, and the coastline stretching all the way to Palos Verdes.

Designed to maximize its extraordinary setting.

Nearly every living space is oriented toward the view. Walls of glass frame the ocean beyond while expansive sliding doors create a natural connection between the interior and the outdoor living spaces. An oversized deck spanning the length of the upper level becomes an extension of the home itself,  the perfect backdrop for sunset entertaining, quiet mornings overlooking the Pacific, or evenings spent taking in the coastal lights below.

Inside, the recently remodeled interiors blend timeless warmth with elevated modern finishes. Refinished hardwood floors flow throughout the upper level, where a formal living room is anchored by a striking limestone fireplace complete with custom millwork and slab surround. Adjacent dining and family spaces are filled with natural light and designed to embrace the home’s uninterrupted coastal outlook.

At the center of the home.

The chef’s kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned with both style and functionality in mind. Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, designer lighting, brass fixtures, and top-tier Viking appliances create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. A large center island with prep sink, wine refrigerator, and bar seating serves as a natural gathering place for everyday living and entertaining alike.

The lower level hosts all four bedrooms, including two potential primary suites, each offering direct access to covered outdoor patios and year-round sunset views. Spa-inspired bathrooms and carefully selected finishes continue the home’s sense of understated luxury throughout the private living spaces.

Beyond the interiors, the outdoor environment is equally impressive.

A sprawling lawn surrounded by lush landscaping and new hardscape offers exceptional privacy while leaving ample room for a future pool or additional outdoor amenities. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a peaceful evening overlooking the canyon and coastline, the setting feels both tranquil and expansive.

Located just moments from award-winning schools, Alta Laguna Park, scenic hiking and biking trails, downtown Laguna Beach, and some of Southern California’s most iconic beaches, this property represents a unique opportunity to experience coastal living from one of Laguna’s most sought-after hillside enclaves.

With its rare combination of commanding views, sophisticated design, and exceptional location, this Top of the World residence captures the essence of elevated Laguna Beach living.
