Welcome to Laguna Canyon — Where History, Charm & Opportunity Meet.
Tucked into the canyon on a generous lot, this income-producing duplex is wrapped in lush landscaping and ocean breezes — a rare blend of privacy, character, and Laguna lifestyle. Live moments from the Sawdust Festival, Pageant of the Masters, world-class beaches, and everything downtown Laguna has to offer.
Upper Unit — 3 Bed | 2 Bath:
Spacious living room, full kitchen, dedicated office space, and inside laundry. A/C keeps it cool through those balmy summer nights, while mature landscaping and canyon air set the tone outside.
Lower Unit — 1 Bed | 1 Bath + Office
A charming, light-filled retreat — perfect for guests, extended family, or rental income.
The Outdoors:
A tropical oasis with a dry riverbed winding through the property and mature high yielding Avocado Trees— the kind of setting that has inspired Laguna’s artists, writers, and dreamers for generations. Walking distance to town, yet a world away.
The Opportunity:
Whether you’re looking for multigenerational living, a live-in-one-rent-the-other setup, or a pure investment play, this is a rare canyon find with built-in income and timeless appeal.
Artists, writers, and dreamers — welcome home.
