Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from February 22, 2024
Rarely does an opportunity become available to purchase a corner lot on an upper street in desirable North Laguna. With panoramic views of Catalina in front of you, and gorgeous coastline from Main Beach down to the Dana Point Headlands, this single-level duplex boasts an attached two car garage, private front yard, mature fruit trees, oversized basement storage and separate laundry room. As currently configured, each unit has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, but the possibilities are endless and sure to increase its value in short order. Rent both. Live in one, rent the other. Connect inside to live as a single residence, perhaps modifying to create one larger home and a connected studio. Consider building a second story, doubling the living space and adding panoramic views. This unique property has all the best ingredients for investing in the magic of the Laguna Beach real estate market with significant upside and appreciation potential. And you can count on the first rule of real estate: Location, Location, Location. Walk to Crescent Beach, Divers Cove, Heisler Park, renowned art galleries, museum, restaurants, shopping, plus Laguna's famed hiking and biking trails right outside your front door.

What Locals Say about Laguna Beach

  • Sabrina Skelly
    "Good family neighborhood, nice area, low crime. No sidewalks, so street infrastructure can be unsafe. Parks are driving distance, not many parks in walking distance. PCH and bad drivers are a larger risk. "

    "I think it’s important that parents take their kids to the parks in the neighborhood and Laguna for their kids to play with each other.

    "I live in Rancho Laguna neighborhood and it is totally different from the village. It is where we join the world of nature and the ocean Surrounding it. We also have much better parking and a designated trolley to bring us into the village. One day you see a family of coyotes raising their young and the next you see deer frolicking in the meadow. It is the secret sanctuary of Orange County. "
