Spectacular setting for this 1943 South Laguna cottage. With panoramic ocean and sunset views from the 6700+ square foot lot, this single level home captures a classic style enhanced by wood floors, beamed ceilings, French doors and an open floor plan. The gated entry welcomes into a large sunlit courtyard and garden. The spacious wooded rear yard is level with decks, outdoor dining, cactus trails and hot tub. Inside, the entry surprises with a wall of French windows viewing directly to the ocean and Catalina Island. The remodeled gourmet kitchen adjoins the formal dining room again with ocean views. The Master bedroom faces the rear yard and ocean while the guest bedroom/den are adjacent to the entry grounds. The bonus room/garage provides a flexible option for parking or home use. All interior spaces are bright and the siting provides for a quiet and tranquil atmosphere. There is a full basement below with laundry, storage and workshop. The lower yard provides a private access for an easy trip to the beach, shops and restaurants. The property is located on the edge of open space and thus provides a unique and secluded setting. First time on the market in 35 years.
