Property Description

Situated in a quiet pocket of South Laguna Beach, this inviting cottage welcomes you through a charming Dutch door entry, with French doors and windows wrapping every room in natural light and coastal air. Warm, simple, and completely at ease with itself, this is classic beach cottage living at its best. The layout flows naturally from entry to living space to deck, each room connecting effortlessly to the next. Engineered hardwood floors run underfoot, and the remodeled kitchen is appointed with stone counters, generous counter space, open shelving, ample cabinet storage, and a dishwasher. Functional, fresh, and thoughtfully done. The bedroom is a quiet retreat with a skylight overhead. The bath continues the light-filled feel with a tub-in-shower beneath its own skylight. Simple and just right. Outside, the deck becomes an additional room and al fresco retreat, the one you'll find yourself in most. Head into downtown Laguna Beach for a farmers market morning, wind south to Dana Point Harbor for the afternoon, then come back and settle in for an evening that asks nothing more of you than to stay awhile. Just a few blocks to 1000 Steps Beach, this is one of Laguna Beach's most compelling values. An affordable single family home with genuine character in a community where that combination is increasingly rare. Laguna Beach Design Review approved plans for an additional bedroom and bathroom, a loft, and garage, add further upside, making this a rare foothold on the California coast at an approachable price point.
