About This Home
As of December 2024Charming quintessential ocean-view North Laguna cottage with carriage unit. Comprised of two units with great income opportunity. Front cottage has 2 BRs and 2 BAs with living room fireplace and ocean views; an updated kitchen with granite counters. Great curb appeal! Front porch and large enclosed grass yard surrounded by a white picket fence! Two-car garage (plus laundry) are shared with carriage unit. Back carriage unit over garage has 1 BR and 1 BA plus ocean views! This is a street-to-street lot with enormous possibilities...the highly sought-after North Laguna Beach neighborhood is just a stroll to the beaches and coves, local shops, cafes, art festivals and restaurants - all hallmarks of a Laguna Beach address. Live in one and rent the other - or combine for excellent income! Seller financing may be a possibility for qualified buyers (owner may carry), rate and term to be determined.
