A four-bedroom house recently hit the market for just under $24 million at Laguna Beach’s Montage resort, where billionaire investor and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban picked up a place last year.
Cuban spent $19 million on a front row, 7,867 square foot, six-bedroom vacation home in the community in December 2018. It was initially listed at just under $26 million.
Another home, at 17 Montage Way, came up for sale at $23.995 million in March and also has nearly 8,000 square feet. It’s wrapped by a patio and offers ocean views. A water feature highlights the central courtyard.
Built in 2005, the house sports a gourmet kitchen with three sinks and high-end appliances, along with a built-in espresso machine. The expansive master suite includes a fireplace and a walk-in closet, vanity area and soaking tub. There’s also a dressing area and an office. An elevator descends to a wine cellar and media room with a bar.
Homebuyers at Montage Residences can get access to services including a hotel concierge, room service and housekeeping.
Tim Smith of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage is the listing agent.
Property records show the home is owned by real estate magnate Bruce Deifik, former owner of the Ocean Resort Casino in New Jersey.
The most expensive house currently on the market in the Montage community of 13 private homes is listed at $29 million. It sought $38 million last year.
An oceanfront house on the MLS in Irvine Cove is the priciest listing in the city, at $48 million.
