This breathtaking coastal contemporary home, constructed by builder Legacy CDM and interior studio Brooke Wagner Design, sits perched on the hillside of Corona del Mar, California, one of Southern California’s most coveted coastal enclaves. Encompassing 7,500 square feet of living space, this home reflects a beautifully restrained approach to California luxury, where clean architectural lines meet soft natural textures and a curated warm neutral palette.

Light oak, layered linens, bleached timber, whitewashed brick, and subtle coastal tones create interiors that feel both refined and effortlessly livable. Rather than relying on visual drama for impact, the home earns its grandeur through impeccable material selection, spatial generosity, and a seamless relationship with its dramatic setting. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive, conceived not as an afterthought, but as a true continuation of the home itself.

Inviting lounge seating, an infinity pool, a rooftop fire pit terrace, and thoughtfully integrated landscaping capture the relaxed elegance of coastal California entertaining at its finest. Large openings dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, making every space, whether a light-flooded breakfast nook or a covered cabana with harbor views, feel equally suited for quiet mornings or evening gatherings by the water.

What We Love About This Home

The way this home engages its hillside setting is incredible. Rather than simply placing a house on a lot with a view, every room, terrace, and outdoor space has been oriented to capture sweeping harbor and ocean vistas. We are especially drawn to the interplay of materials throughout: bleached oak beams, whitewashed brick, and brass accents transition seamlessly from indoors to the covered terraces, creating a cohesive, harmonious feel. Despite its generous scale, the home never feels overdone thanks to its soft neutral palette, organic textures, and relaxed furnishings, which keep it warm, inviting, and livable.

Inside the secluded home theater, a 200-inch projection screen, high-powered projector, and Dolby Atmos surround sound deliver a fully immersive cinematic experience. Plush acoustical treatments and custom movie-inspired artwork enhance both performance and atmosphere, while a preprogrammed “theater mode” dims the lights, activates step lighting, and powers up the AV system for a seamless movie night.
