About 146 Crescent Bay Drive
Amazing location on one of the most coveted streets in North Laguna Beach with spectacular white water VIEWS from downtown to Dana Point. Just three houses from Crescent Bay Point Park and only a short walk (approx. 300 steps) to the surf and sand. Known for it’s local vibe, Crescent Bay is considered one of the best beaches in Laguna. Very few homes offer this proximity to such a special cove which makes it perfect for the ocean-loving person or family! This is the first time it’s been on the market since it was built in 1973. The owner loved the late afternoon hours when the sun lights up the windows above downtown, calling it “Gold Hill”. The mid-century, beach cottage design and floor plan provide open, light spaces throughout. At the top of the stairs you’ll find the open kitchen/dining/living room with cathedral ceilings, a wood and gas burning fireplace and a view that you’ll cherish every time you’re there. The ocean view deck runs across the whole house and it’s a special place to be. There’s also a big bedroom with it’s own street side balcony and a full bathroom upstairs. Downstairs features a large family room, a bathroom with Jack & Jill entry, a big bedroom, and garage access from the hall. The family room could be made into a third bedroom if desired. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been remodeled. 2 car garage + 2 car driveway parking. There’s also fresh interior and exterior paint, new LPV white oak flooring, and a number of other nice touches to enjoy. This is a rare and special listing, the ultimate beach house, and a fantastic place to call home.
