Encompassing approximately 3,403 sqft, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom estate blends grand proportions with livability in one of Laguna Niguel’s most established gated communities. A dramatic double-door entry opens to soaring two-story ceilings, formal living and dining rooms, and a sweeping wrought-iron staircase that sets the tone for the home’s craftsmanship. Marble flooring, crown molding, custom millwork, and a built-in wet bar create an elegant and inviting atmosphere.
