Magnificently situated on the prized north-western point of Crescent Bay, Chateau du Soleil overlooks the glistening Pacific Ocean, the picturesque curve of Crescent Bay, and a view immortalized countless times in paintings and photographs. This is an extremely rare opportunity to own a legacy estate property with only four previous owners stretching back to the nineteenth century. Anchoring the estate is an expansive oceanfront lawn and gardens – a unique feature rarely found in oceanfront estates along this coast. This generous space provides a special sense of serenity and offers a level of privacy uncommon in oceanfront living. Whether used for entertaining, relaxing or simply taking in the ever-changing light over the water or whale-watching, the space feels like your own private overlook park. The views from inside the home are epic - framed by towering two-story 'windows on the Pacific'. With substantial interior square footage and a forward location on the point, the home would be difficult (if not impossible) to replicate under today’s coastal development restrictions. Currently configured as a four-bedroom home with an abundance of additional flexible-use rooms, the floor plan and size easily lend themselves to a variety of configurations depending on the new owner’s needs. Also unusual in oceanfront properties, this home has three oversized garage bays and driveway parking. For those unfamiliar with Laguna Beach’s Crescent Bay, this stretch of sand is stunningly beautiful and never without something interesting to watch. Waves crash on the tide pools in endlessly interesting patterns, pelicans fly by at eye level as they head back to their nests, colorful umbrellas dot the sand, and the local marine mammal rescue uses this beach to release the seals and sea lions they’ve nursed back to health. It is considered one of the most picturesque spots on the California coast and inspired the artist pilgrimage to the area that established Laguna Beach before the 20th century. Crescent Bay Drive and even this property counts among its owners and residents many of the notable families whose names are still known to this day – Heisler, McKnight, and Florence ‘Pancho’ Barnes. Chateau du Soleil, 245 Crescent Bay Drive, is a singular offering. Spectacular locale, stunning setting, and the required existing building envelope to satisfy dreams. Rare are estate opportunities like this.

Nestled within the prestigious Beverly Hills Gateway, 1117 N Beverly Drive stands as a testament to Hollywood's golden era and architectural brilliance. Spanning 1.5 acres, this estate encompasses approximately 7,594 square feet across four meticulously designed structures. The main residence, custom-designed in 1959 by architect George MacLean with interiors by Billy Haines, for MGM producer Armand Deutsch and his wife Harriet, showcases mid-century modern design at its finest. In 1972, renowned architect William Stephenson added the "Whim House," a guest and screening house whimsically named due to its spontaneous conception. Over the past two decades, the current owner has invested over $4 million in thoughtful renovations, including dual Fire A-rated roofs, updated HVAC and security systems, partial electrical and plumbing enhancements, and landscape revitalization. The Deutsch residence was more than a home; it was a social hub for luminaries such as Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Frank Sinatra, and the Annenbergs. Notably, one of President Reagan's inauguration celebrations was hosted here, with remnants of Secret Service security tape still present in the attic. Armand Deutsch, grandson of Sears CEO Julius Rosenwald, survived a near-miss with the infamous Leopold and Loeb case, an event that influenced the estate's emphasis on security, including a gatehouse and accommodations for live-in staff. The estate features a grant deed ensuring unobstructed southern exposure, preserving solar capabilities for the hillside-installed panels, which currently heat the pool but have the potential to power the entire property. Architectural plans by Lewis Schoeplein and Jim Olson of Olson Kundig offer avenues for future enhancements. A Certificate of Ineligibility, valid until August 14, 2026, provides flexibility for renovations without historical preservation constraints. 1117 N Beverly Drive is not merely a residence; it's a piece of cultural history, offering a unique blend of classic Hollywood charm and modern luxury.
