About This Home
As of October 2019BEST-PRICED UNOBSTRUCTED OCEAN-FRONTING CONDO IN LAGUNA BEACH. This stunning condominium provides all the advantages of carefree condo living yet gives the feeling of living in a single-family cottage home. Situated on the front-row of prestigious Cliff Dr in North Laguna, this home directly overlooks sandy beaches, scenic crashing of waves against rock outcroppings, luscious greenery of famed Heisler Park, Catalina Island, and glorious year-round sunsets. Oriented towards the favored north coast, this unit also benefits from its serene position fronting Myrtle St. This renovated home features a large great room comprising a LR; open formal DR; large, romantic fireplace; and wide open kitchen with bar seating—all overlooking forever ocean views through new telescoping doors that bring the outdoors in and provide access to a large ocean-facing balcony. The great room also opens up thru double French doors to a magnificent 32’x16’ private ocean view patio—unique among Laguna Beach condos. The outdoor spaces bring total indoor/outdoor SF to about 1,560sf, giving this 1BR unit an extremely functional and versatile entertaining space. The large ocean view master bedroom offers an en suite spa-like bathroom with a separate shower as well as a jetted spa tub. The unit also features a formal entry; powder room; 1-car subterranean gated garage; and lots of storage. All new exterior windows and doors. Community laundry. Ideal walk-to-town location near restaurants, shops and galleries.
