About 31793 5th Avenue
Property is located in South Laguna one block east of PCH and walking distance from the beach. The 8,750 sq. ft. parcel is comprised of two lots and measures 70’ (front) x 125’ where many nearby homes are on 35’ front lots. Nothing has been done to the property for many years and now this is a great opportunity to build your own dream home(s) or assess the possibility of bringing back the vintage charm of this 1930’s cottage. City Planner Scott from the City of Laguna Beach has confirmed that two properties can be built on this lot. The Cottage is on the Historical Inventory and is "C" (contributive) rated meaning that these buildings contributed to the overall character and history of a neighborhood but may "not be unique in and of themselves". There are various incentives offered by the City if you wish to restore the home and you are able to add on to it.
