Home of the Day: A modern chateau in Laguna Hills
This modern spin on a French chateau rests behind an iron gate on nearly half an acre in Laguna Hills. Bright interiors offer subtle hints of Old World style with rich hardwood flooring, beamed ceilings and detailed stone fireplaces and mantels. Sequestered from the rest of the home, a dedicated master wing offers solitude with a step-down reading room, a fireplace and a private patio overlooking the landscaped grounds.
