The home
About 215 High Drive
North Laguna Beach original beach cottage, one of the few remaining with upgrade potential to rebuild the existing eclectic flare “as built” . Like many other cottage homes in this area, some registered on the historical society list for preservation, this particular home was owned by the current seller since 1985 in its original condition. This home is not listed at this time on that historical list due in part to the changes and modifications over the years. However, City of Laguna Beach recognizes this beach cottage “as built” therefore recorded sizes and lot dimensions are inaccurate per PPM drawings to be provided to perspective customers. Can be upgraded and brought to current codes with possible expansion of master bedroom with the right vision and investment. Price is relative to other comparable lot sizes and square footage of other sales taking into consideration overall original charm and “as is” condition. Opinion of value is above 2M completed. Home is better suited for remodel than rebuild whereas City will only allow the maximum for this lot of approximately 1500sqft. With 2 car garage. Today it is “as built” 2146 sqft officially measured by PPM on an approximately 3562 sqft lot per plat maps. Highest and best opportunity is remodel or existing structure with options to extend master suite. A rare and fantastic find with rooftop ocean view and absolutely irreplaceable history of ole Laguna Art Colony living.
