271 Alta Vista Way, Laguna Beach

Open sky panoramic ocean view from North Laguna coast to waters of Montage resort, includes sweeping panorama of Palos Verdes Peninsula and off shore islands of Catalina and San Clemente. Sunsets and moonlight on the water send glimmering paths of light to your doorstep. Over breakfast or dinner watch migrating whales and dolphins pass close to shore just below your cozy restored historic Laguna cottage. Perched just above the sea but near beach, only a three minute walk to safe access underpass and fabled Victoria Cove (best kept secret for local water-lovers, as well as sand-court volleyball and tide-pool enthusiasts). Ten minute walk on white sand Victoria beach to coves of Montage resort. Fully and faithfully restored 1922 historic beach cabin awarded highest rating for heritage homes by City of Laguna Beach, eligible for Mills Act tax savings at owner’s option. All new everything: Electrical, plumbing, sewer, central heating, storage space expanded, new roof insulated, new cement retaining walls (most modern earthquake engineering), also new kitchen, bathrooms, three ocean view outdoor patios, all ocean views unobstructed and protected from future down-hill and up-hill development. Like it was in the “Old Laguna,” plus 3-5 car off street parking, 1 block to trolley and bus stop, located centrally in walking distance to Village center, half-way between north and south city limits.
