About 688 Mystic View
With an enviable position above picturesque downtown Laguna and storied Main Beach, this oversized home is one of the masterpieces of noted architect Chris Abel.

The pool, overlooking the view, is surrounded by ample deck space and a sheltered al fresco kitchen. While having been updated through the years, just a little more could move this residence to a whole new level. Size, view, proximity to town, and a unique style - this could be the home you have been waiting for!
