Discover this enchanting storybook cottage nestled on a quiet corner lot in the sought-after Woods Cove area of Laguna Beach. Situated at the top of Agate Street away from the busy beach traffic, loud cars and parking at all hours, very quiet and tranquil. High up enough to get ocean views, but close enough to be on the sand in minutes. Framed by graceful shade trees and towering palms, the property welcomes you with a gated flagstone patio leading to an entertainer's haven featuring a charming gazebo and expansive side yard. Tree top ocean views from second story. This Beach cottage comprises 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, exuding warmth with its vintage details, vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, and stained glass accents.
The living room boasts high ceilings, a cozy fireplace, while the open kitchen is equipped with butcher block counters, a farmhouse sink, and a breakfast bar. The primary suite upstairs offers a serene retreat with a deck showcasing ocean views, accompanied by an additional bedroom that can serve as an office space. The main level hosts the third bedroom with an ensuite bath, a powder room, and private rear deck. There is also room to add-on.
Enjoy in the private wraparound yard that blends indoor and outdoor living with lush landscaping and covered patios, perfect for year-round enjoyment. Just blocks from Laguna’s pristine beaches and the vibrant HIP district, this home offers an unparalleled coastal lifestyle.
