Tucked into the serene, tree-lined canyon setting of Laguna Beach's Upper Village, this fully updated 1948 mid-century cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Laguna Beach history. The interior and exterior of this home have been completely updated and meticulously maintained. A charming Dutch Door and French Doors provide entry into a bright, open-concept floor plan. Soaring exposed-beam ceilings with multiple skylights, an open concept kitchen and a restored fireplace with gas logs create ambiance with modern convenience. With unmatched privacy while remaining just a leisurely stroll from everything, enjoy car-free weekend living nestled just a block away from the Farmer's Market and the Arts festivals, and a few blocks to the village and Main Beach. Secluded canyon and nature views throughout the house create peaceful connection to the outdoors. The property offers thoughtful updates that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living and lives larger than the square footage suggests. The fully fenced yard features a custom gate crafted by a local Laguna artisan. Ample off-street parking for 2-3+ cars and generous closets and storage for surfboards, kayaks, paddle boards, or art supplies complete the active coastal lifestyle. Immerse yourself in nature with your own private trail with terraced fruit trees. Direct access to the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park trail system invites daily hiking and exploration right from your doorstep. The expansive grounds transform into a true sanctuary. Multiple patios feature natural gas fire pits and an outdoor grill. Enjoy coffee on the patio amidst the beautiful song of the birds, rinse off after the beach in the outdoor shower and unwind in the private sauna. Invite friends to cookout on the grill and enjoy the sunset around the fire pit with cocktails. Vacation year round at home in one of the most coveted villages on the California coast.
