SHORT SALE opportunity--without the typical headaches of a standard short sale! Perched atop one of Laguna Beach's most iconic ocean-view bluffs, 802 Rembrandt Drive is an extraordinary Spanish Colonial Revival estate that seamlessly fuses timeless architectural character with modern luxuries. Capturing UNINTERRUPTED 180-degree views that sweep from Catalina Island to Palos Verdes and the shimmering LA skyline, this legacy property epitomizes coastal California living--refined, effortless, and steeped in beauty. Set on an oversized street-to-street lot, the estate enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy and scale. Inside, classic details--arched doorways, artisan ironwork, and hand-painted tile--blend gracefully with thoughtful updates including owned solar, central HVAC, and split-zone climate control. The main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, while a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath casita provides the perfect retreat for guests, a private office, or a creative studio. The chef's kitchen is both functional and beautifully designed, complete with premium appliances and a charming pass-through window that opens to a secluded front patio featuring a built-in wood-fired pizza oven. Whether hosting intimate dinners or lively gatherings, this private outdoor courtyard sets the stage for warm and memorable moments. At the heart of the home, the open-plan living and dining areas flow effortlessly to a spacious rear balcony, blurring the line between indoors and out. Over 1,000 square feet of view terraces invite you to savor ocean breezes and vibrant sunsets year-round. The resort-caliber pool and spa deck lies just below a shaded loggia adorned with elegant tiled arches, surrounded by lush mature landscaping that provides both beauty and seclusion. A palapa-style cabana and built-in fire pit with curved seating complete the outdoor living experience--ideal for everything from lazy summer days to starlit coastal evenings.Located just above Laguna's coveted Hip District, the home's private lower gate allows for walkable access to world-class beaches, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and the Surf & Sand Resort. Homes with this rare combination of architectural pedigree, panoramic views, expansive lot size, and walkable village location seldom become available. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Laguna Beach's signature estates.
