About this property

Located just 5 minutes from the beach in the charming Laguna Beach neighborhood of Canyon Acres, this single level cottage has been thoughtfully updated with modern features while maintaining the classic charm of Laguna Canyon. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac street, this one-bedroom home plus artist studio features luxury vinyl floors, upgraded baseboards, fresh interior paint, and a newer roof. The light and bright living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and open kitchen, which features quartz countertops, upgraded shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, dishwasher and refrigerator, plus a convenient nearby interior laundry room. The spacious primary bedroom offers plenty of room for both a sleeping area and workspace, while the primary bathroom has been tastefully updated with tile flooring and a newer tub/shower area. One of the property's most unique features is the flat, usable lower yard, offering private off-street parking as well as an enclosed yard with fruit trees and plenty of space for entertaining, gardening, or possible expansion. The whimsical grounds continue upward with several additional levels to enjoy. Above the lower yard is a charming seating area and separate structure ideal for an artist studio or creative retreat. A second sitting area above offers peaceful canyon views, colorful sunset skies, and the beauty of the surrounding natural landscape. Magnificent natural rock formations and caves, along with custom artistic touches throughout the grounds, create a truly one-of-a-kind setting. Just minutes from the Sawdust Art Festival, the iconic Pageant of the Masters, downtown Laguna Beach restaurants and shops, renowned art galleries, miles of nearby hiking trails, and Laguna's picturesque beaches and coastline. Award-winning schools, low property taxes, and no HOA make this a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the peace, creativity, and tranquility of Laguna Beach living.
