    Charming Laguna Historical Cottage...Beautifully restored 1928 beach home, that has been updated to perfection but maintains its original charm. Seaview is one of the best streets in the Village ! This home is on the top block, of a street that doesn't go through to Glenneyre ,so very quiet with minimal traffic. Enter into your property on brick and hand tiled walkways (A classic Laguna detail). Originally two homes that through the years were merged into one larger home. Ocean views from the Primary bedroom, beautiful courtyard entry with classic, for Laguna, use of brick and tiles, leading up to the original old Dutch door entry. Charming living room with vaulted wood ceilings and hand wrought beams, beautiful wood floors and French style muti-paned windows. Thoughtfully updated open kitchen and dining area suited for a large dining table and entertaining. Stainless steel Viking and Wolf appliances, newer Quartz counter tops with full tile backsplash and Farmhouse sink. From the living room the bedrooms are on opposite ends of the house. On one side, there is a large secondary living area with a small bedroom and an ensuite bath and a separate entry. On the opposite side of the house, there is a den/TV room and also another flex-room that has a Murphy bed and built-in cabinets and washer and dryer. This room can be an additional third bedroom or a multi-purpose room for arts and crafts just leave it to your imagination. Upstairs, you have the Primary bedroom and bath with walk-in closet. This room enjoys lots of light and charm with beautiful ocean and Village views. Aquasana whole house water filtration system. PLUS: This property enjoys the Mills Act Historic Status with the City of Laguna Beach, so that your yearly taxes are a fraction compared to what they would normally be. The furnishings are available, outside of escrow...
