Located on a quiet cul-de-sac street, this one-bedroom home plus artist studio features luxury vinyl floors, upgraded baseboards, fresh interior paint, and a newer roof. The light and bright living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and open kitchen, which features quartz countertops, upgraded shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop, dishwasher and refrigerator, plus a convenient nearby interior laundry room. The spacious primary bedroom offers plenty of room for both a sleeping area and workspace, while the primary bathroom has been tastefully updated with tile flooring and a newer tub/shower area.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.03% (week of Sep 24, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Laguna Beach rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
