Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1950, this home is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows its age through dated features such as tile countertops in the kitchen and older bathroom fixtures. While it includes some updates like stainless steel appliances and hardwood floors, the overall style and infrastructure have not undergone a full modern renovation, consistent with the listing's suggestion that the property is a candidate for a major remodel or addition.
The property offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of Catalina Island, San Clemente Island, and the coastline, providing some of the most iconic sunset vistas in Laguna Beach.
Situated on a generous 6,864 sq. ft. lot in the prestigious Temple Hills area, the home offers a rare combination of privacy and proximity to Main Beach, shops, and dining.
The two-story layout features a separate entry downstairs guest suite or office, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or a professional home workspace.
Built in 1950, the home's original systems and 1,700 sq. ft. footprint may require a significant capital investment for modern upgrades or a full remodel to meet luxury standards.
