This single-level North Laguna residence in the Tree Streets embodies timeless California coastal living with a rare blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and character. Resting on a secluded corner lot along the prestigious High Drive, the home is framed by lush hedges, mature trees, and curated gardens, setting a serene tone from the moment you arrive.
Behind the original front door, interiors reveal a meticulous attention to detail. Sunlight pours through an abundance of windows, highlighting refinished hardwood floors, custom Venetian plaster walls, hand-selected Alder wood doors, and exposed wood beams that echo the home’s architectural roots, originally built in 1937. Crown molding and crystal-accented Framburg lighting add a touch of classic elegance, while thoughtful updates ensure a seamless balance of historic charm and modern convenience.
The kitchen is both functional and refined, anchored by a generous island, Wolf range, subway tile backsplash, and double pantry. A custom bar area discreetly integrates a home theater system and Sonos multi-room audio, creating a space as ideal for entertaining as it is for everyday living. The primary suite offers tranquil views of mature landscaping and remodeled bath with a spacious walk-in shower and soaking tub. A secondary bedroom overlooks the deck through a striking bay window. Third bedroom overlooks front yard.
Outdoors, an IPE wood deck captures ocean views, while a covered patio invites year-round gatherings. Beneath the home, additional bonus space presents potential for expansion. Situated moments from Laguna Beach’s vibrant downtown, boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, and world-renowned beaches in one of Laguna’s most coveted settings.
