For the first time in nearly six decades, this iconic Laguna Beach estate, steeped in history and charm, graces the market. Known as the Hiel Ryder Residence, named after its original owner who commissioned its creation, this Mediterranean Revival masterpiece stands proudly on over 0.6 acres of prime North Laguna Beach real estate.

A grand, tree-lined driveway leads through private gates to a motor court, where the stately residence reveals itself in all its timeless elegance. Inside, the home's classic proportions and thoughtful layout create a harmonious blend of grandeur and livability. Sunlight pours through expansive windows, framing the panoramic views and infusing the home with warmth. The residence features two spacious living rooms, each with its own fireplace, formal and informal dining areas, a cozy family room, four main bedrooms (plus two additional guest bedrooms), two kitchens, and a serene master suite complete with an ocean-view veranda, a sitting area, a fireplace, and a generously sized dressing room. Original architectural details have been lovingly preserved, including oak hardwood floors,
