Paradise Awaits! Discover breathtaking, expansive ocean views, privacy, and over 17,400 square feet of land with this rare gem. A true diamond in the rough, this property is just waiting for someone with vision and a touch of craftsmanship. With a little imagination and some TLC, this incredible home can truly shine. The property welcomes you with an inviting courtyard, complete with an outdoor fireplace, separating the main house from the guest house and garage. The main residence offers three bedrooms, an office, and 2.5 baths. Its open-concept kitchen and living area are graced with ocean views and lead out to the terraced yard below, creating a perfect blend of indoor-outdoor living. The guest house, located beneath the two-car garage, features a kitchen, ¾ bath, and charming Dutch door that opens to the courtyard. This home was masterfully designed by renowned architect Aubrey St. Clair, famous for iconic designs such as Laguna Beach City Hall and the Laguna Beach County Water District buildings. Original details, including beamed ceilings, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, leaded glass windows, and numerous French doors, add to the home’s timeless charm and character, all awaiting rediscovery. Unfortunately, due to circumstances in recent years, the current owners have not been able to provide the attention this home deserves. Now, the opportunity is yours to restore this architectural treasure and create your masterpiece on the hillside overlooking the ocean in Laguna Beach.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity. Don’t miss out on the chance to make it yours.
