About This Home

As of June 2018

With a phenomenal location moments away from South Laguna’s Thousand Steps Beach, this classic Laguna Beach cottage ups the charm factor with a private yard and bright interior. An ocean view is enjoyed from a private backyard with lattice-style patio cover, beautiful plants, fountain, drip irrigation system, vegetable garden and a delightful space for entertaining friends and neighbors. Multi-paned windows and skylights illuminate the open interior of the one-story home, which offers two bedrooms, one full and one three-quarter bath in approximately 1,232 square feet. A host of appointments includes a wood-burning masonry fireplace and built-in bookcase in the living room, mirrored wardrobe doors, tile countertops, tile bathroom floors, sliding glass doors leading from the kitchen and living room to the outdoors, and a soothing jetted tub in the full bath. An attached one-car garage includes hook-ups for a washer and gas dryer and built-ins for storage, and the driveway offers parking for two. Moments from miles of pristine beaches, the timeless cottage is close to Laguna’s wide variety of restaurants, galleries, boutiques, hiking trails and parks.
