A peek inside the living room of the Laguna Beach home.
A modern rustic-style home at the end of a 75-foot bridge driveway has come on the market in Laguna Beach.
At $2.6 million, the house features three bedrooms, two bathrooms and about 2,000 square feet of living space with treelined views.
The architect J. Lamont Langworthy designed the house on a large, wooded, hillside lot.
Langworthy practiced architecture in Laguna Beach from 1960 to 1970.
Noted architecture critic Alan Hess writes in “Forgotten Modern: California Houses 1940-1970” (published by Gibbs Smith in 2007) that Langworthy’s designs complemented the surrounding environment and held “a consistent discipline about their structural and spatial concepts that show a sophisticated architectural mind.”
