Set front row in Irvine Cove—Laguna Beach’s most exclusive and under-the-radar oceanfront community—2526 Riviera Drive is a rare architectural estate with panoramic views and total privacy. Designed by Leason Pomeroy, the home opens to the Pacific with walls of glass and a horizon-level infinity pool, blurring the line between indoors and out. Rich materials, custom built-ins, and sculptural elements elevate every space, while refined details like a Crestron automation system and an olive burl breakfast nook—with a pop-up TV and a vertical structure that continues elegantly to the level below—reflect the depth of design. The lower level offers a private lounge, game area, guest space, and flexible living—all connected by a custom floating staircase and elevator. An oversized garage completes the home’s rare blend of form, function, and front-row living. Homes in Irvine Cove rarely become available. Properties like this—almost never.
