About this home

Location-LOCAtion-LOCATION! With 7 miles of Marine Protected Area, Laguna Beach is a pristine protected coastline featuring a large percentage of one-of-a-kind specialty shops and boutiques, and more beachfront lodging than any other city in California. Whether you are looking to relax in early spring with pleasant weather and fewer people, or hang out with the tourist and larger crowds in the summer....this home is located centrally to enjoy it all. A less than 5 minute walk will land you to one of the most unique beaches named Victoria Beach. The relatively large cove beach offers fun features such as a pool on the sand, sea caves, tide pools, and volleyball courts. Now let’s describe the duplex! Each unit, one downstairs and one upstairs features its own entrances from the rear on Solana and from the front on Coast Hwy. Both units offer a welcoming layout with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath each. The upstairs unit offer high ceiling in the living room with jaw dropping views of the coastline. Both units offer outdoor space to relax and enjoy the beach life. Whether you choose to live in one and lease the other, live in both, or lease both.....the investment in this duplex should be exceptionally rewarding!

Condition Rating
Poor

Built in 1959, this duplex shows significant signs of age and outdatedness. Both kitchens feature very dated cabinets, countertops (tile and laminate), and appliances, requiring substantial renovation. While the property appears functional, the overall aesthetic, flooring (mix of old carpet, tile, and some laminate), and fixtures are far from modern. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet contemporary living standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Coastal Location: Situated in highly desirable Laguna Beach, known for its pristine coastline, unique shops, and vibrant community, offering an unparalleled lifestyle.
Exceptional Beach Proximity: Less than a 5-minute walk to the unique Victoria Beach, featuring a natural pool, sea caves, and tide pools, providing direct access to premium coastal recreation.
Versatile Duplex Configuration: Features two independent 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units with separate entrances, offering flexible options for owner-occupancy with rental income or full investment.
Stunning Ocean & Coastline Views: The upstairs unit boasts 'jaw-dropping views of the coastline,' complemented by diverse views including city lights, canyon, hills, and ocean from various vantage points.
Robust Investment Opportunity: Positioned as an 'exceptionally rewarding' investment due to its prime location, income-generating potential, and enduring appeal of Laguna Beach real estate.

Cons

Original Construction (1959): Built in 1959, the property likely requires significant updates to its systems, infrastructure, and interior finishes to meet modern standards and preferences.
Compact Lot Size: The 2,178 sqft lot is relatively small for a duplex, potentially limiting private outdoor space or future expansion possibilities.
Modest Unit Dimensions: Each 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit is approximately 790 sqft, which may be considered compact for some buyers or renters, especially given the premium location.
