AMAZING VALUE! Located in the coveted California Cove enclave of Laguna Beach, this charming two-story residence blends thoughtful updates with the rare opportunity to access top-rated Laguna Beach schools at an exceptional value. Nestled in the quiet hillsides of Laguna Canyon, the home offers a tranquil setting just minutes from the vibrant beaches, shops, and restaurants of downtown. A vaulted entry opens into a bright, inviting living and dining space where soaring ceilings, tall windows, and a dramatic ceiling-height brick fireplace create an airy sense of volume and warmth. Natural light flows easily throughout, while the open-concept layout connects seamlessly to a private rear patio—an ideal space to relax, entertain, or enjoy the surrounding greenery. The kitchen has been tastefully upgraded with quartz countertops, white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a convenient breakfast nook. A built-in bar area adds character and function to the main level, perfect for gathering with friends or hosting casual evenings at home. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet and en-suite bath with dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, while a spacious bonus room offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom, home office, or creative studio. With a low monthly HOA, an attached two-car garage, and easy access to hiking trails, parks, and the award-winning Laguna Beach Unified School District, this home presents a unique opportunity to enjoy the best of coastal Orange County—without the coastal price tag.
