About This Home
As of March 2019Picture the quintessential Laguna Beach cottage and this wonderful North Laguna home is it! Originally named the "Ivy Cottage" after the Broadway actress who owned it for many years, this property boasts a lovely garden with ocean views, nine fruit trees, a swing and a picket fence. Once inside the house, you will love the sunroom with a brick floor and lots of light. Other amenities include a formal living room with fireplace, a formal dining room with built-in corner cupboard, hardwood floors and updated kitchen and baths. There is also a charming backyard with a potting shed and the original garage that could house a small car or golf cart. Ideally located just a block-and-a-half from Crescent Bay Beach, this home is a "don't miss" opportunity!
