Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1942, this property has undergone cosmetic updates including new light-colored flooring and fresh interior paint, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features dated white cabinetry with older hardware and aging built-in appliances that do not meet modern luxury standards. While the vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows are high-quality architectural features, the overall infrastructure and kitchen/bathroom styles show signs of being outdated, consistent with the listing's suggestion that the home offers flexibility for creative renovations.
Elementary School: Top Of The World Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Thurston Middle School (9/10). High School: Laguna Beach High School (9/10).
The property features floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive terraces that capture breathtaking, unobstructed vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, and crashing whitewater.
Situated on a unique street-to-street lot with dual cul-de-sac access, the property includes two separate 2-car garages, offering rare parking capacity and accessibility for the hillside.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Built in 1942, the residence likely requires significant modern updates or a full renovation to align with contemporary luxury standards and efficiency.
With only two bathrooms serving a three-bedroom, 2,272-square-foot home, the layout may be perceived as underserviced for a property at this price point.
