About This Home

As of March 2021

The possibilities are virtually endless at this fully renovated and thoroughly upgraded duplex in South Laguna Beach, where both residences reveal panoramic ocean and Catalina Island views. Offering easy access to Thousand Steps Beach located across PCH, the dynamic property is ideal as a vacation compound, year-round living in one unit with the other leased, utilizing both residences as income properties, or combining them into one home via the interior staircase that currently connects them. Both the upper and lower units present stunning 180-degree ocean views from interior spaces and oversized outdoor decks, 2 ensuite bedrooms, high-efficiency heating and air-conditioning systems, and washer and dryer sets. The second-level home’s kitchen boasts a pot filler over the cooktop and high-end Thermador appliances including a built-in wine refrigerator. Perfectly positioned to maximize ocean and coastline views, the property showcases upgrades that include marble and stone countertops, and all-new plumbing, gas, electrical and ducting systems throughout with separate metering for each unit. A new roof and new Milgard windows and sliding doors ensure a tranquil living environment. Indoor and outdoor areas blend seamlessly, making it a breeze to enjoy morning coffee or entertaining with family and friends while enjoying gorgeous views. A spacious backyard lawn includes storage for surfboards, bikes and beach toys. This property embodies coastal living at its finest.
