The two bedroom, one bath home showcases an open concept floor plan with a spacious kitchen accented by quartz counters and modern appliances including Wedgewood stove and Liebher refrigerator, GE monogram dishwasher, with ample storage and cabinetry. Refined details including rich accents and gorgeous custom handmade mahogany armoires, a arched front door, partially radiant heat floors, radiant heat two -way fireplace, a Dutch door to the back, high ceilings, ample natural light from windows and skylights. There is a detached room currently set up as an office but could be used as an optional 3rd bedroom.

Laguna Beach is known for its excellent public schools. Main beach is a half a mile from this home, and the renowned Pageant of the Masters, Sawdust Festival, the Laguna Beach Playhouse, art galleries, and restaurants are just minutes away.
