Description

Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac in Laguna Beach’s Upper Victoria Beach, this beautifully upgraded three-bedroom, three-bathroom home blends timeless beach cottage charm with modern luxury. Enter through a private front courtyard gate, where French doors welcome you into the bright, airy living room. Beamed cathedral ceilings enhance the openness, while natural light creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Just beyond, a cozy den retreat features a brick fireplace, custom built-ins, and a single glass-paned door leading to the tranquil backyard. The gourmet kitchen is a masterpiece of style and function, featuring Blue Stone countertops, a spacious eat-in island, custom built-ins, and top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, along with the original 1924 fireplace. A generous seating area offers breathtaking ocean views, and the dining area provides the perfect setting for intimate gatherings. The stucco and tile fireplace adds warmth, while a Dutch door opens to the private front courtyard and an approx. 400 sq. ft. ocean-view deck. Ascend a few steps to the primary suite, a true sanctuary with ocean views, built-ins, and an ensuite bath adorned with Italian light fixtures and a large walk-in closet. A stunning copper soaking tub, set behind vintage French doors, is an iconic feature showcased in The Proposal movie. The two secondary bedrooms are equally bright and inviting, with one featuring a charming Dutch door and private entry. Solid vintage barn wood floors throughout add character. Additional features include handmade designer wallpaper, Toto toilets, original solid copper outdoor lanterns, a Navien tankless water heater, and a Pure Elements water filtration system (2022). The home underwent a full electrical upgrade (2014), along with a newer roof and gutters (2019) and enhancements such as Lutron-controlled lighting. Three Rinnai wall gas heaters in the primary suite, dining room, and guest bedroom ensure year-round comfort. Surrounded by lush gardens and ocean views, this rare flat-lot property offers multiple outdoor retreats, including a private front deck, serene grassy yard, and a spacious backyard escape.
