Laguna Beach, California 92651
Just two miles south of Treasure Island beach and perched above Coast Highway in South Laguna, this coastal retreat captures what you come to Laguna Beach for: sweeping Pacific Ocean views, Catalina Island sunsets, ocean air, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. From the expansive upper deck, the home looks across the iconic Coast Highway corridor to the coastline, delivering a dramatic view experience without the oceanfront price. While the home does not include a garage, the tradeoff is quickly forgotten as a private stair approach leads to a bright, refreshed coastal retreat with sweeping ocean views. Inside, the main living level opens wide to the horizon, featuring ocean-facing windows, French doors to the deck, light wood-style flooring, recessed lighting, and an updated white kitchen designed to keep the focus on the water. The generous view deck lives like an outdoor great room, ideal for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or simply watching the Pacific change color throughout the day. Additional lower-level living space, updated bath finishes, in-unit laundry, and multiple outdoor areas create flexibility for guests, work, relaxation, or extended coastal living. For those who value views, lifestyle, and South Laguna character, this is a rare opportunity to own the Laguna Beach experience at a compelling price point. NOTE: All furniture and furnishings are virtually staged.
Property is move-in ready.
Originally built in 1948, the property has undergone a significant recent 'refresh' making it move-in ready. The kitchen and bathrooms feature modern updates including white cabinetry, grey subway tiling, and glass shower enclosures. While the 76-year age is evident in the exterior brick stairs and lack of a garage, the interior systems, recessed lighting, and wood-style flooring suggest a renovation within the 5-15 year range.
