About This Home

As of October 2017

Just reduced! Owner motivated! Charming Seaside Cottage on Ocean side of Coast Hwy, just steps to beach in South Laguna Village area. This quintessential "Ocean View" Beach Cottage is surrounded by lovely gardens and has hardwood floors and high beamed ceilings throughout. Spacious living room with ocean peaks has a cozy brick fireplace, beamed ceiling and leads to outside patio and garden area. Darling kitchen and dining room area have character and charm, but have been thoughtfully updated retaining a "vintage cottage/bungalow" feel. Two bedrooms have separate bathrooms. The cottage is private, tucked away just below the shops and restaurants of the South Village area, but just around the corner from all the action and located just 2 houses from the water on the west side of Coast Hwy. There is access to Secret Cove Beach via a private beach staircase. Separate Garage and driveway for two cars.
