262 morning canyon road

Elevated above Morning Canyon in Shore Cliffs, this reimagined three-level coastal residence—crafted by RDM General Contractors with interiors by Courtney Lawrence Ziething—unfolds with sweeping Pacific Ocean views against a layered canyon backdrop. Spanning approximately 4,511 square feet, the home offers four bedrooms and four-and-one-half bathrooms, thoughtfully redesigned with a refined architectural sensibility that balances clean lines with a warm, organic material palette. Defined by exposed reclaimed wood beams and an effortless indoor-outdoor connection, the main living areas feature expansive sliding glass doors that open to multiple terraces, capturing layered canyon greenery with ocean views beyond. The kitchen is centered around a large stone island with an integrated dining ledge and appointed with a custom range hood, premium appliances, and a glass-front refrigerator. From here, the space transitions seamlessly into the dining area and fireplace-warmed living room, while a main-level bedroom with an attached full bath offers thoughtful flexibility for guests. A glass-enclosed bonus room or office with built-in floating cabinetry adds versatility and intentional design. Connecting the home’s levels, a striking iron-and-glass staircase leads to the lower floor, where two bedrooms, a full bath, and a secondary living area create an ideal setting for guests or everyday living. Sliding doors open to an outdoor deck with a fire pit, offering a private and inviting space for entertaining against the canyon backdrop. Privately situated on the upper level, the primary suite is a true retreat defined by natural light and expansive vistas. French doors open to a private balcony with breathtaking ocean and canyon views, while the spa-inspired bath features a dedicated vanity area, dual sinks, and a walk-in shower, all finished with elevated, design-forward details. Completing the offering, a finished detached two-car garage features custom built-in cabinetry, with three washers and three dryers providing added convenience across the home’s three-level layout. Positioned above Morning Canyon, the property enjoys a rare combination of privacy, greenery, and coastal outlooks, just moments from Shore Cliffs’ private beach access and Orange County’s premier dining and shopping. Warm, architectural, and thoughtfully curated—this is coastal living defined by privacy, views, and design integrity.
