Great Spaces: Beachfront Living at Its Best

By Zoe Eisenberg

This month, we're celebrating beach season with an inside look at two stunning beachfront properties, from Florida all the way to California.
 
Knockout Sale in Fort Myers
News broke in April on this record-smashing residential sale in North Fort Myers, Fla., when this four-bedroom, six-bathroom estate sold for $2,620,000—the most expensive residential sale in the region in over a decade. 
 
Located at 12604 Panasoffkee Drive, the 8,072-square-foot Mediterranean-style beachfront mansion is equipped with a private beach just steps away from the home. The grounds also include a tennis court, fishing pier, private cinema, terraces with views of the city and river, as well as a dock big enough to house a 50-foot yacht. Seamless indoor/outdoor living and entertainment areas include large patios, a waterfront pool and spa, Bellagio-style fountains and an elevator for ease and access.
 
The home sale broke a regional record unmatched since 2007.

Sweet Spot in Laguna Beach
With epic ocean and coastline views, this sweet double-decker beachfront home located in Laguna Beach is on the market for the first time in over three decades.
 
Located at 7 Camel Point Drive in Laguna Beach, Calif., the three-bedroom, three-bathroom Spanish-style beach "cottage" stretches over 2,000 square feet, with views of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and Catalina Island and access to Aliso Beach and West Street Beach. Inside, the sunny space is graced with hardwood floors and an abundance of windows, with a large lower terrace overlooking the shore, a smaller deck off the second floor and a two-car garage for easy parking.
 
One of eight oceanfront estates in the prestigious gated Camel Point Drive community, the home was originally built in 1950, and has been off the market for the past 33 years.
