Upstairs, a chic primary suite with brilliant natural light and a custom fireplace opens to a generous ocean-view sundeck. Displaying a brand-new renovation, the primary bath shines with an oversized shower, Schluter heated flooring, double vanity with custom riff-cut oak cabinetry, and a walk in closet. Private grounds beckon with a BBQ patio off the kitchen, a lush lawn and manicured gardens. Best of all, the acclaimed schools, restaurants, shops and galleries that Laguna Beach is famous for are just a stone’s throw away, ensuring year-round enjoyment of California’s quintessential beach-living experience.
