About 1173 Marine Drive
This is a tremendous opportunity on one of the best streets in Laguna Beach and at a great price. 1923 Spanish Revival compound perched upon Crescent Bay with direct beach access.

Above the dining area is a rare retractable atrium that provides an abundance of natural light. Also on the main level is the Spanish style kitchen, charming separate family room with wood burning fireplace and two guest bedrooms. The upper level features a spacious master suite with soaring cathedral ceiling and arched doors out to the terrace. Additionally upstairs lies a secondary bedroom/office. The lowest level hosts two additional bedrooms suites that walk out to a large patio with stairs cascading down to the beach below. Rare three car garage.
