Oversized windows bathe the space in light, while classic wood beam ceilings and rock-formed garden walls exude classic Laguna charm. Inside, a versatile layout features a main-floor bedroom and bath, with an additional upper bedroom and bath, an expanded view deck, and flexible living space. The generous kitchen flows seamlessly into the lower living area, which includes a substantial fireplace, dining, and living space. Recent updates include re-surfaced decks, new exterior paint and recently updated central AC and heat to ensure year-round comfort in the idyllic Laguna Beach climate with minimal maintenance required. The oversized garage accommodates two cars, with additional off-street parking, a rare bonus in one of Laguna's most scenic neighborhoods.
