About This Home

As of July 2018

Sitting high atop the hills of Laguna Beach, this home offers an unforgettable sunset view from almost every room! Sit back and enjoy the salt water air and ocean breezes, and the panoramic view from Palos Verdes peninsula to San Clemente island. With a bedroom and attached bathroom on every floor, this home caters to the even the fussiest buyer. The living room and master bedroom both have a fireplace and private deck, offering not only ocean views but overlooking the city lights of Laguna Beach. The lower level opens up to an entertaining patio, with built in bbq and food prep area. Located towards the end of the cul-de-sac, an attached 2 car garage at street level completes the home, and the entry landing could be utilized as an office or den area. Enjoy plenty of shopping, dining, and beach access just minutes away, or a nearby park with tennis courts. The location doesn’t get much better than this!
