About This Home
As of September 2025Nestled in the heart of Woods Cove, this beautifully renovated historic ocean-view beach cottage captures the essence of California coastal living and once served as the home of Laguna’s famed Greeter, Eiler Larson. Beyond the gated entry, an inviting outdoor sanctuary awaits with thoughtfully designed drought-tolerant landscaping and a spacious patio with seating for 12, all set against panoramic views of Catalina Island. Inside, distinctive designer touches elevate every corner of this move-in-ready retreat, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with premium stainless steel appliances and a striking Brazilian rosewood peninsula—perfect for gathering, entertaining, or watching TV—flowing seamlessly into a light-filled living room with white beamed ceilings and an original brick wood-burning fireplace.The generous primary suite offers custom built-in closets, drawers, and shelving, seagrass carpeting, and a luxurious bathroom with a soaking tub. A cozy den with a Scandinavian-style built-in sofa provides an ideal secondary lounge for movie nights or game time. The third bedroom, an upstairs loft accessed via a functional ladder, enjoys refreshing sea breezes and a private perch for whale watching. Outdoors, a shaded entertainment area includes a gas grill, ping pong table, kegerator, vegetable garden, Tesla/EV charger, laundry area, and driveway parking for two. Perfectly situated just moments from Laguna’s most picturesque beaches, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, boutique shopping, trolley access, and more, this stylish haven blends historic charm with modern comfort.
