About This Home

Come on in to 38 South Portola! Located within the gates of Lower Three Arch Bay—one of Laguna Beach’s favorite private beach communities—this home offers 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, including a versatile 5th bedroom with its own separate entrance that’s perfect as an office, gym, or guest space. Step through the charming Dutch door and into warm distressed hardwood floors that flow throughout. The kitchen features granite counters, a Wolf range, walk-in pantry, and views of the patio and backyard. The dining area, living room, and Primary Suite each boast their own fireplace for cozy coastal evenings. The entire top floor is dedicated to the spacious Primary Suite, complete with two walk-in closets, double sinks, a soaking tub, a generous shower, and a private ocean-view deck. Recent updates include new A/C, a refreshed laundry room, and an upgraded downstairs bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are conveniently located on the entry level, with one lower-level bedroom offering optional private access. Best of all, you’re just a short stroll from the beautiful exclusive beach of Three Arch Bay—your everyday escape.
