Hot Property: Carson Palmer lists Laguna Beach home at $2,949,000

The four-bedroom, 4 1/2 -bathroom, 4,380-square-foot Mediterranean has a panoramic hilltop view of the Pacific, Santa Catalina Island, city lights and an open canyon below. The top level has an entry deck, an ocean-view office and a two-car attached garage. The gourmet kitchen has granite counters and Viking stainless-steel appliances. There are formal dining and living rooms. The master bedroom suite occupies the entire floor and includes a cedar-lined walk-in closet, an office with a private balcony, a sitting area with a fireplace and a master bath.

The home has three fireplaces and a built-in aquarium -- answering that old question: How exactly does a professional football player relax during the off-season? He must watch his fish.

The 28-year-old Palmer, a Southern California native, won the 2002 Heisman as a senior at USC. He was drafted by the Bengals with the first overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft.

Andrew Karigan of Prudential California Realty, Newport Beach, has the listing.
