About this home

In coveted North Laguna Beach, this thoroughly reimagined duplex, renovated by MAR Development, offers two beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom residences, each showcasing high-end finishes, designer fixtures, premium appliances, and in-unit laundry. With sweeping ocean views from both levels, this is a rare opportunity for elevated coastal living or investment. Both units have been extensively upgraded in 2023, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC with central air, roof, windows, doors, cabinetry, appliances, baths, flooring, and custom landscaping - reflecting the quality and craftsmanship of a full-scale renovation. The upper unit features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a private deck off the kitchen that captures breathtaking ocean vistas - perfect for dining al fresco or enjoying the sunset. The lower unit mirrors the same thoughtful upgrades and boasts exclusive access to a custom-designed patio complete with built-in fire pit, outdoor BBQ, and lush landscaping - ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Located just one block from Shaw’s Cove Beach, and tucked between Fisherman’s Cove and Crescent Bay - an area treasured for its natural beauty and hidden-gem feel. Additional highlights include a private storage unit and a two-car carport. Just moments from iconic beaches, art galleries, shops, and restaurants.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Situated in coveted North Laguna Beach, just one block from Shaw’s Cove Beach and nestled between Fisherman’s Cove and Crescent Bay, offering unparalleled access to natural beauty, iconic beaches, art galleries, shops, and restaurants.
Sweeping Ocean Views: Both residences boast sweeping ocean views, with the upper unit featuring a private deck perfect for enjoying breathtaking vistas and sunsets, significantly enhancing desirability and value.
Recent & Comprehensive Renovation: Thoroughly reimagined and extensively upgraded in 2023 by MAR Development, including new electrical, plumbing, HVAC with central air, roof, windows, doors, cabinetry, appliances, baths, and flooring, ensuring modern comfort and low immediate maintenance.
Income-Generating Duplex: Comprising two beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom residences, this property offers a rare opportunity for elevated coastal living with significant income potential or as a pure investment vehicle.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Amenities: Features include a private ocean-view deck for the upper unit and a custom-designed patio with a built-in fire pit, outdoor BBQ, and lush landscaping for the lower unit, complemented by a private storage unit and a two-car carport.

Cons

Duplex Configuration & Privacy: While offering income potential, the duplex nature inherently means shared walls and potentially less privacy compared to a detached single-family residence, which some high-end buyers might prefer.
Modest Lot Size: The 4,792 sqft lot, while common for the area, offers limited additional private outdoor space beyond the designated deck and patio, and restricts significant future expansion possibilities.
Carport vs. Enclosed Garage: The property features a two-car carport, which, while functional, may be less desirable than a fully enclosed garage for buyers prioritizing enhanced security, additional storage, or complete vehicle protection from the elements.
