Nestled in highly sought-after Woods Cove, this enchanting cottage sits in a serene, storybook setting near Bluebird Park (with summer concerts), beaches/scenic coves, and Laguna Beach's vibrant downtown. A 3 bedroom, 3 bath gem—graced with its very own place on the 2015 Garden Tour—beckons with beauty and charm. This historic coastal home has been lovingly restored to combine timeless vintage character with modern amenities, and is surrounded by lush, blooming gardens and a sprawling, grassy backyard. The main living area is bathed in natural light from numerous windows and doors, offering water views from the inviting living room and entertaining deck. Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts ocean, coastline and dazzling sunset views from a private, romantic terrace. Original hardwood flooring, open-beamed ceilings, a cozy fireplace, stained glass accents, and a Dutch front door infuse the home with warmth and nostalgic ambiance. The chef's kitchen offers design and function, featuring a classic gas range, marble countertops, ample storage, and enjoys close access to alfresco dining on the deck or patios. A separate family room on the lower level opens onto the serene backyard, creating an indoor-outdoor living experience perfect for relaxation or entertaining during our enviable SoCal sunny days or alluring evenings under the stars. Unique touches include vintage clawfoot tubs, a convenient outdoor beach shower, and Nest-controlled A/C for your comfort. This dreamy cottage also has a main floor bedroom across from a full bath.
