640 Temple Hills Drive

Perched high in the exclusive Temple Hills enclave of Laguna Beach, this Paul McClean-designed masterpiece is a stunning celebration of coastal modernism, where natural elements meet high-concept architecture. Spanning approximately 3,165 square feet, the three-bedroom residence is purposefully oriented to frame the panoramic views: crashing white water, Catalina Island, and the glittering city lights below. The drama begins at the threshold, where a striking mono-stringer staircase greets all visitors and a floating glass sky bridge sweeps them from the interior out to a sprawling, ocean-breeze viewing deck. An elevator connects the custom-finished garage—prepped and ready for your electric vehicle charger—to all three levels of the home. On the upper main level, a voluminous great room serves as the social hub, anchored by a kitchen with a waterfall quartzite island, an eight-burner Miele stove, integrated refrigeration, a wine fridge, and premium Grohe and Kohler fixtures. Warmed by elegant linear fireplaces, this level effortlessly blends a dining space that opens to a private rear patio with an ocean-facing living sitting area. Below, the primary suite is truly a retreat with a linear fireplace, an office alcove, dual closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a deep soaking tub set against a scenic picture window and a restorative steam shower. Every sleeping quarter steps out to the exterior, including the two secondary lower-level bedrooms with access to private coastal patios. Sophisticated sandstone-style tiles are complemented by state-of-the-art integration, featuring whole-home automation for audio-visuals, security, climate, fire, automated shades, and Lutron lighting, all supported by a lightning-fast Cat 6 network and seamless Wi-Fi. Designed for modern living, the residence is complete with dual Insta-Hot water systems, dual washer/dryer combos, and the exclusive option to acquire curated furnishings and golf carts. It is a rare, sensory-rich sanctuary that redefines the ultimate Laguna Beach lifestyle.
