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: Unbeatable location in coveted North Laguna Beach, just one block from Shaw’s Cove Beach, and moments from iconic beaches, art galleries, shops, and restaurants.
Extensive 2023 Renovation: Thoroughly reimagined and extensively upgraded in 2023, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof, windows, and all interior finishes, ensuring a modern, move-in ready condition.
Sweeping Ocean Views: Both levels of the duplex offer sweeping ocean views, with the upper unit featuring a private deck capturing breathtaking vistas, a highly desirable feature in Laguna Beach.
Versatile Duplex Investment: Comprising two beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom residences, this property offers excellent flexibility for rental income, multi-generational living, or a combination of owner-occupancy and investment.
High-End Finishes & Outdoor Amenities: Each unit boasts high-end finishes, designer fixtures, premium appliances, and in-unit laundry, complemented by a private deck for the upper unit and a custom patio with a built-in fire pit and BBQ for the lower unit.

Cons

High Price Point: The list price of $3,795,000 represents a significant investment, which may narrow the pool of prospective buyers despite the premium location and extensive renovations.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has seen a recent price reduction from its original list price of $3,995,000, which could suggest initial overpricing or a longer-than-anticipated market time.
Modest Lot Size for Duplex: While well-utilized, the 4,792 sqft lot size might be considered modest for a duplex property in this luxury market, potentially limiting extensive private outdoor space beyond the existing amenities.
