The 1913 Crown Jewel of North Laguna – A Timeless Hideaway with Ocean Views Tucked discreetly behind lush foliage and nestled among the storybook charm of North Laguna, this historic masterpiece invites you into a world where craftsmanship, character, and coastal serenity converge. Perched on an expansive 5,000 square-foot lot, every inch of this residence speaks of enduring care and integrity, from its solid wood floors to its hand-hewn beams and signature brick fireplace. Step through sunlit rooms filled with original windows that draw in the coastal light like a canvas. The 1000 sq ft main floor features spectacular sit-down ocean views from all of the windows, and a warm and welcoming 1-bedroom, 1-bath with a walk-in shower. A finished attic above—complete with an electronic, finely crafted wood staircase, features a large ocean view picture window, vintage wood paneling, a quarter bath, closets, and storage—perfect as a writer’s nook, artist retreat, office, or playroom. This space is not included in the sq ft., and is approx 800 sq ft. Below, a large finished lower level (the size of the main level) has a half bath, laundry area, and an abundance of storage; an ideal space for a studio, office, gym, theatre or private guest suite. An enclosed original porch enhances the sense of intimacy and character throughout. Step outside to curated gardens and a charming brick patio where time slows, and entertaining becomes an art. A detached two-car garage and newer HVAC system bring modern ease without sacrificing charm. A side gate allows for easy access to the alleyway. This is your opportunity to own a piece of Laguna Beach history while adding your personal vision to create something truly spectacular. PRIME LOCATION! Walk to Main Beach, downtown galleries, and boutique cafés—all just moments from your door. Laguna’s Crown Jewel is calling. Will you answer? Listing includes supplements- Records and Appraisal. NOTE: Appraisal does not include the finished second story and bathroom, but comes in at almost $3.3. Sq. footage in MLS does not include the attic. A recent 4-year litigation just ended in favor of a homeowner with a similar historic home, who petitioned to remove their home from the historic listing. It was ruled that a homeowner does not have to agree to have their home listed as a historic property. They can remodel with general Laguna Beach permits.
