This is a tremendous opportunity on one of the best streets in Laguna Beach and at a great price. 1923 Spanish Revival compound perched upon Crescent Bay with direct beach access. Through the front gate, you are greeted by a private front courtyard with inground pool and entertaining patio spaces. The charming characteristics of the Spanish Revival era of architecture and design are prominent in the elements of asymmetrical facade, rounded arches, low-pitched red tiled roof, white stucco and rich decorative details inside and out. The near 3900 sqft residence sits prominently above the cove and offers premium NW coastal, Catalina and sunset views. Through the heavy wood double entry doors is a nice open layout with dining and living spaces that offer sit down ocean views through the sets of large arched french doors. Above the dining area is a rare retractable atrium that provides an abundance of natural light. Also on the main level is the Spanish style kitchen, charming separate family room with wood burning fireplace and two guest bedrooms. The upper level features a spacious master suite with soaring cathedral ceiling and arched doors out to the terrace. Additionally upstairs lies a secondary bedroom/office. The lowest level hosts two additional bedrooms suites that walk out to a large patio with stairs cascading down to the beach below. Rare three car garage. Marine Drive is located in desirable North Laguna with short proximity to shops, restaurants and more.
