About 31853 8th Ave
Offering the perfect blend of historic charm and modern style this stunning ocean view beach cottage offers a quintessential Laguna Beach lifestyle! Situated in one of the most desirable locations in South Laguna just seconds from Thousand Steps Beach, Table Rock Beach and West Street on an oversized lot (the home is built on two APN’s) with an abundance of outdoor living areas adorned with manicured landscaping, a terraced garden with fruit trees and sparkling views. Originally built in 1929 and recently remodeled with modern finishes including smooth stucco, energy efficient windows, new roof, new landscaping/hardscaping, new doors and skylights - the home is equal parts function & form. The expansive decks offer indoor/outdoor living year round with ocean breezes and views front and center. Whether you’re dining al fresco on the deck, relaxing on the shaded patio, playing in the yard, or walking to world famous beaches and restaurants - this home has it all. Natural light pours through windows and skylights in an airy living and dining room enhanced with vaulted, open-beam ceilings and a wood burning fireplace. The chef’s style kitchen is complete with marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, furniture style cabinetry, vintage leaded glass accents and French doors with easy access to the upper deck. The versatile floor-plan currently hosts two bedrooms/one bath in the main living space on the upper level, while the lower level hosts an inviting bedroom, two light & bright bathrooms and a separate studio apartment with its own private entry, kitchenette, and private outdoor space. This area is perfect for a guest casita or a separate rental unit. Rounding out the downstairs is a large indoor laundry room and bonus storage area, which is the icing on the cake. You'll never have to search for parking, as there is ample parking with a two car garage and two driveway spaces, so all your guests can join you at the beach. A rare opportunity in the heart of Laguna.
