The home
About 31885 9th Avenue
Welcome to this beautiful beach cottage in South Laguna! This home features a very rare 5,080 sq ft lot and offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The original 1929 beach cottage was added on to and rebuilt in 2006. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow together and have abundant windows for natural light to hit all corners of the top level. Its warm and cozy vibe is perfect for friends and family to gather and enjoy each other's company. And, if you want to reap the benefits of that wonderful Southern California weather, then step outside to the ocean view deck where you can decompress and enjoy the fresh breeze of the Pacific. Once you're ready to retreat to the serenity of your bedrooms, just stroll down the stairs for a peaceful night's sleep blocks away from PCH. In the master bedroom, wake up to soft sunlight and roll out of bed to the deck for your morning stretches to start your day. Also, for the early morning surfers, steppers, or swimmers, Thousand Steps Beach, considered one of the nicest beaches in Laguna, is a 3-minute walk away. The other 2 bedrooms have a door to the side of the house with an outdoor shower to rinse off before entering back into the house. There is also the luxury of a backyard that most beach houses wish they had for barbecues or kids just to run around and play. Includes detached 1 car garage. Near parks, schools, restaurants, shopping, and Laguna Beach's beautiful beaches!
