Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime North Laguna Beach Location: Unbeatable proximity to Shaw's Cove, Laguna Beach Trolley, and walking distance to vibrant local culture, shopping, and dining, offering an exceptional coastal lifestyle.
Extensive, High-Quality Renovation: An 18-month meticulous renovation with brand-new systems (plumbing, electrical), Milgard windows, La Cantina doors, and expanded decks, ensuring modern luxury and move-in readiness.
Sweeping Panoramic Ocean Views: Both units offer captivating, sweeping panoramic ocean views, enhancing desirability and value, especially from expanded decks.
Income-Generating Duplex Configuration: Offers flexibility with two distinct units (3-bed/3-bath and 2-bed/1.25-bath), providing significant rental income potential or multi-generational living options.
Advanced Smart Home & Energy Efficiency: Equipped with central HVAC, high-end AV/home automation, solar electricity, energy-efficient windows/doors, water softener, and reverse osmosis, offering modern comfort and reduced operating costs.

Cons

Premium Price Point: The high list price of $5.25 million significantly narrows the potential buyer pool, targeting only ultra-luxury market segments.
Duplex Privacy Considerations: Despite its benefits, the duplex structure inherently involves shared building elements, which may present privacy concerns or noise considerations for buyers accustomed to detached single-family residences.
Limited Traditional Yard Space: While featuring ocean-view decks and a private garden for the lower unit, the property lacks a large, traditional private yard, which some luxury buyers might expect or desire for extensive outdoor living.
