    What's special

    Discover style, charm, stunning ocean views, flexibility, ample parking, and easy access at 534-536 Legion Street. This exceptional DUPLEX, nestled on a corner lot in the heart of the village, was once the office and residence of the renowned local architect, Chris Abel, adding a touch of Laguna's legendary architectural heritage to its allure. Offering a seamless blend of architectural excellence, coastal living, and seaside serenity, this prime property sits on a corner lot in an ideal central location. Encompassing approximately 1,760 square feet on a spacious 4,000 square feet lot, the duplex provides convenient access to all that Laguna has to offer. The upper unit features 1 bedroom and 1 bath, while the lower unit boasts 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Upon entering the upper unit, your gaze is immediately captivated by the white water of Main Beach unfolding beyond the sunken living room. The open floor plan effortlessly integrates the kitchen and dining areas with the living room, extending to the perimeter deck that offers breathtaking water views. The generously sized bedroom opens onto the expansive ocean-view perimeter deck on one side and a private, enclosed courtyard on the other. Accessed from the ground floor, the lower unit includes 2 bedrooms, an open kitchen, a living room, and a well-appointed bath. Each unit enjoys the convenience of its own laundry hookups. The property comes complete with two single-car garages, an additional covered space, and room for three more vehicles on-site. The spacious storage space beyond the garages opens up possibilities for potential expansion. Tastefully remodeled years ago, the property still exudes charm and emotion with its concrete countertops and authentic rustic pine flooring that have been meticulously retained, creating a timeless and inviting atmosphere.
