Property Description
Located in one of Laguna Beach's most desirable neighborhoods, this property offers a rare chance to create your dream coastal home with stunning views of Emerald Bay, Catalina Island, and a front-row perspective of the community's summer fireworks displays.
Currently a charming single-level, 1,625 sq ft home built in 1947, it features wood-beam ceilings and a classic wood-burning fireplace. The existing residence sits on a 6,100 sq ft lot and carries timeless character.
After nearly two years of collaboration with architects and engineers, city-approved plans are complete and permits are ready to be pulled. The thoughtfully designed remodel expands the home to approximately 2,500 sq ft on a single level with four bedrooms, two and a half baths, an indoor laundry room, and a large two-car garage with additional driveway parking. The new coastal cottage-inspired floorplan, designed by renowned local architect Bob McGraw, is oriented to capture the breathtaking whitewater views.
This streamlined process saves years of time and expense — the heavy lifting has already been done, allowing you to begin construction without delay.
A short 10-minute stroll to Crescent Bay Beach & Park, one of Laguna's most picturesque destinations, with easy access to world-class dining, galleries, and the vibrant village lifestyle that makes North Laguna so special.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to bring your vision to life in one of Southern California's most desirable coastal locations.
