About 136 Cliff Drive
We are delighted to offer a truly iconic piece of Laguna Beach: 136 Cliff Drive & 145 Cedar Way, a 17-unit multifamily property perched upon a hill in the heart of the city. Also known as Twin Palms, the property is situated in one of the best locations within Laguna Beach, just steps to the world famous Main Beach, Pageant of the Masters, the Sawdust Festival, and countless seaside shops, cafes, and nightlife entertainment options. Twin Palms reflects true pride of ownership, and has been lovingly and thoughtfully maintained and upgraded by the same family for almost 60 years. 16 of the 17 units have received varying degrees of renovations in the last decade, some with spec-home-caliber finishes and amenities. The property also boasts a charming courtyard with tiered gardens, as well as two sun decks offering priceless and breathtaking views of the waves and the Village. Seldom do opportunities such as this become available, and it would be a crowning addition to any investor’s portfolio.
