About 74 Emerald Bay
An unparalleled opportunity to acquire a perfectly positioned, front-row residence within the coveted enclave of Emerald Bay. This exceptional location on the Emerald Green park mere yards from the edge of the Pacific Ocean allows the sound of the waves and the movement of sea air to permeate every part of the property. Wake to cheerful morning sunshine with a tennis court, a manicured community grass field, beach volleyball or a dip in the ocean just steps from your front door. This tranquil, light-filled home, a haven for its current owners for decades, now offers a blank canvas for those seeking to realize their dream of coastal living. The main living area capitalizes on the beach and ocean views, with oversized windows framing the breathtaking vistas beyond. Brimming with midcentury modern charm, the living room features a full-height brick mantle fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and built-in details. Multiple access points to the backyard invite the outside in, with lush, mature landscaping creating a sense of privacy. A kitchen with a breakfast nook, two ample bedrooms, a den, and two bathrooms complete the single-level floor plan. Much more than just a neighborhood, the community of Emerald Bay is revered for its exclusive amenities: a residents-only beach, green spaces, sports courts, a lap pool, and a year-round events calendar —all within the easily accessible North Laguna Beach location.
