The home
About 496 Cypress Drive
Prime North Laguna Beach ocean view townhome duplex. Distance to the sand is about .16 miles which is a 3-5 minute walk. Situated in one of the best locations in North Laguna, residents can walk to the sand, famous Las Brisas restaurant, Main Beach, The Village, Heisler Park and Diver's Cove from this property or be in Newport Coast in just a matter of minutes. Whether for investment or renting one unit and enjoying the second, this is a rare opportunity. Laguna beach parking is tough but not when you have 4 garage parking spaces and 4 spaces in the driveway, in addition to the street permit parking. Property was renovated on the interior and exterior by the current owner. This duplex is comprised of 2 almost identical townhouses with plenty of private backyard and front yard space for outdoor entertaining. These units do not feel like a cramped beach cottage with no space. Each unit has a separate entrance on opposite sides of the building so they feel more like comfortable private homes walking distance to the water than a duplex. Each unit has a main floor bedroom and full bathroom and an additional bedroom and full bathroom on the second floor along with the main living areas and ocean view balconies. Each unit has direct access from the garage to a main floor entrance and the garage has laundry equipment along with plenty of space for cars as well as all the toys. Upstairs each unit has an open floor plan with very tall ceilings, exposed beams, beautiful kitchens with quartz counters and white cabinets, a living room with a fireplace, dining room, master bedroom, and a full bath. Separately metered for gas and electric. Properties share only one common wall. May be possible to purchase duplex and sell individually as Tenants in Common in the future, buyer to verify.
