Located in the heart of Laguna Village, just blocks from the beach, this beautifully renovated cottage offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a perfect balance of coastal charm and modern amenities. Originally built in 1994 and fully renovated in 2009, with additional updates since, the home was designed by local architect Lance Polster and was once recognized by the Laguna Beach Architectural Guild as "the best little house." The thoughtful layout includes two primary suites—one on the lower level and one upstairs—along with two additional guest bedrooms. The upstairs primary suite enjoys glimpses of the Pacific, offering a peaceful retreat. The home also includes a 2-car garage and additional parking for 2 more cars, a rarity in the Village! The great room is filled with natural light, featuring vaulted beamed ceilings, a cozy fireplace flanked by built-in shelves, and a dry bar with a SubZero wine refrigerator. The open upstairs hallway is spacious and functional, featuring a built-in desk and cabinetry, perfect for work or study. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, Zimbabwe granite counters, an authentic Shaw farm sink, and a bevel-edged Carrera marble backsplash. The adjacent dining area, complete with banquette seating, offers a comfortable space for meals and gatherings. Additional upgrades include custom Thoemmes cabinetry, stunning new wood floors, a new roof (2024), a new water heater (2024), and more. The private exterior features beautiful hardscaping with multiple areas designed for entertaining and dining al fresco, as well as an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach. Located in the heart of Laguna Beach, you are just blocks from famed beaches, restaurants, and shopping. This home offers the best in coastal living.
