The Property
A renovated ocean-view duplex in North Laguna
166 and 168 Fairview Street share one duplex in North Laguna, a block from the stairway down to Shaw’s Cove. A 2018 renovation updated the plumbing and electrical, added Milgard insulated fiberglass windows and LaCantina folding doors, and opened the living areas onto nearly 500 square feet of view decks.
The lower residence holds three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a private garden retreat off the primary suite. Upstairs, a two-bedroom residence opens onto an expansive deck overlooking the Pacific.
Live in one home and lease the other, keep both for family, or hold the property as a long-term Laguna Beach investment. Separate entrances and a private garage for each residence make any of the three work.
