About 280 Hinkle Place
Welcome to Pepper Tree Cottage! For those who desire a cozy Laguna Beach Cottage with spectacular ocean and sunset views, located just 2 blocks away from the sand of Victoria Beach, one of California’s most beautiful beaches, you have arrived. The Cottage was meticulously restored utilizing the highest quality materials sparing no expense. All work was performed by Laguna architects, artisans and builders; the project took 2 years from start to finish and was overseen by the owner. This property is unique in that it offers a home with an additional income unit. Upstairs is fully air conditioned and has vaulted ceilings throughout. There are three bedrooms total. The Main House is comprised of 2 bedrooms and 1 and 1/2 bathrooms, a large living room with gas fireplace plus a small study with beautiful ocean view. For those with furry friends, there is a dog run in the back. Downstairs consists of an independent apartment: one bedroom, one full bath with shower and large kitchen with a gated patio. This apartment affords you options for either rental income or separate guest quarters. The Cottage has walnut floors throughout, walls are covered in Laguna Pine (milled locally in Laguna Canyon), a tankless Noritz water heater system, Ipe decking, copper rain gutters, bespoke solid wood kitchen cabinets with Caesar Stone countertops, Thermador appliances and much more including many architectural features brought over from Southern France expressly for this project. There is plenty of parking, a one-car garage with epoxy floors and a laundry area, plus a covered carport and a carport for your guests - 3 parking spaces in all, which is rare this close to the beach. If you want a Cottage benefiting from an income unit…don’t miss this unique opportunity. Pepper Tree Cottage can be offered furnished or unfurnished depending on the new owner’s requirements. This is the first time the property has come to market in 40 years.
