The home

About 1140 Katella Street

1140 Katella St is a recently renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bath home located on a short cul-de-sac in Arch Beach Heights with panoramic views that stretch across the Pacific from San Clemente Island to the south, Catalina Island to the west, and up Laguna’s glistening coastline. The light & bright three-story home is comprised of the 2-car garage on the first level, the Master Suite, Laundry & 2nd Bedroom with en suite bath & walk-in closet on the mid-tier and the Kitchen, Living Room, Dining area, 3rd Bedroom + bath and backyard on the upper level. Balconies off of the Master bedroom & Living room bring light & air into the home and are the perfect places to sit and take in the sweeping coastline vistas. The low-maintenance backyard is ideal for BBQ'ing with friends, getting some work done under the shady trees or just kicking back with a favorite book in hand. 2-car garage has parking for another two on the driveway. The seasonal Laguna Trolley stops a short block away – it’s the perfect way to get to the beach or to run a couple of driving-free errands in town. Moulton Meadows is a just a few blocks further up the hill and is a great place to rendezvous with your pals for a hike, tear out on a bike ride, or to take your happy pup for a stroll and soak in the coastline & canyon views along the way.
