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 1913 masterpiece invites you into a world where craftsmanship, character, and coastal serenity converge. Perched on an expansive 5,000 square-foot lot, with gentle ocean views gracing the main level and 2nd story, this rare architectural heirloom whispers of a bygone era. 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 main floor features a warm and welcoming 1-bedroom, 1-bath design with a walk-in shower, flowing seamlessly into a finished attic above—wrapped in vintage wood paneling and graced with a quarter bath—perfect as a writer’s nook, artist retreat, or meditation loft. Ocean views from living room, enclosed porch, and upstairs attic. Below, a large finished lower level with half bath and laundry offers an ideal space for a studio, office, gym, or private guest suite. Hide-away wooden stairs, a display-worthy piece of old-world carpentry, add both whimsy and wonder. 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. This is your opportunity to own a piece of Laguna Beach history while adding your personal vision to create something truly spectacular. 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. They are allowed to remove it from the historic listing, and remodel with general Laguna Beach permits.
