More Insights

Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1956, is described as a 'remodeled home' and 'turnkey, move-in ready,' with a significant update being a new roof in 2024. Hardwood floors are present throughout. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, but the tile countertops and backsplash, while clean and functional, appear to be from a renovation that is likely 10-15 years old, not brand new. Similarly, the bathrooms have natural stone tiling and granite countertops, which are well-maintained but reflect a style from a previous renovation cycle. While not 'excellent' due to the slightly dated (though still very good) kitchen and bathroom finishes, the home is clearly well-maintained, move-in ready, and has received recent significant updates, aligning perfectly with the 'good' criteria.

About this home

Charming ocean view beach cottage located just steps away from Table Rock Beach. Close-in ocean and Catalina Island views from both the main living spaces as well as the home’s 30-foot long wraparound deck, and with only three other homes in the foreground. Exceptionally quiet setting on a private cul de sac street with the pleasant sounds of the ocean, as waves crash onto the rock outcroppings and surf below. Walk past only one other home on Seacove Drive, about 60’ away, to arrive at a private locked beach access gate and stairs that lead directly to Table Rock Beach. This home has an extremely rare deeded exclusive beach access that is shared by only a handful of owners. The home also has an ideal orientation with the main view windows and decks facing mostly southwest and west towards the ocean and sunsets. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom remodeled home with hardwood floors is turnkey, move-in ready. The main entertaining rooms consist of a family room, with a dining area, and open to the kitchen, which offers additional bar seating for two. With double French-doors leading to the view deck, the home seamlessly blends both indoor and outdoor living -- and the gas fireplace adds to the ambiance of this romantic seaside setting. The spacious primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with jetted tub and separate shower. The second bedroom is also spacious, and is light and bright. The third bedroom has a separate entrance and windows on two sides. Both guest bedrooms share a hall bathroom that features an oversized, walk-in shower. The property is well-maintained and in good condition. The roof was replaced in 2024. This property has an attached 1-car garage with driveway parking for 2 additional vehicles. Plus, public parking is available just up the street with 9 parking spaces providing 3-hours of free parking during the day. The property’s location in South Laguna also enables easy access into and out of Laguna Beach, and is a short walk to restaurants, shops, and the Laguna Beach Trolley. This special home offers a rare combination of nice ocean views; beach-close location with private stairs to the sand; serene luxurious neighborhood; abundance of parking; easy access into and out of Laguna Beach; and good walkability. All of these aspects coalesce to enable residents and guests to live fully the quintessential Laguna Beach lifestyle.

Compact Living Space: With 1107 square feet, the interior living space is relatively small for a 3-bedroom home, especially considering the luxury price point in Laguna Beach.
