About This Home
As of January 2024Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Laguna Beach, the 1927 Spanish-style home stands as a timeless embodiment of architectural charm and coastal elegance. Perched high above the street, this SINGLE LEVEL, TURN-KEY residence offers an enchanting vantage point that captures breathtaking vistas of the majestic ocean and coastline. From the street, up a short flight of stairs, a wrought-iron gate welcomes residents and visitors, hinting at the privacy and tranquility that await beyond. As you step inside, you're greeted by a sense of history and a seamless fusion of original details and modern comfort. The interior spaces are adorned with wood floors, arched walls, windows, and doorways, Juliette balconies, wrought iron and wood beam ceiling details, all reminiscent of the era in which the house was built. The house has 2 bedrooms, plus a flex space for an office or an additional sleeping area. The large lot allows for outdoor areas that are equally enchanting. An ocean view patio with terracotta pavers, bordered by built-in mosaic tile benches from local artist Marlo Bartels, all celebrate the artist community spirit and offers a retreat for savoring ocean views, sounds of waves, and cooling breezes. Don’t miss this unique gem just 3.5 blocks from world famous beaches, art galleries, popular restaurants, and vibrant shops. If you are looking for a legacy, turnkey, quality-built home, located in the walking friendly neighborhood of Woods Cove, this is it!
