Perched in the sought-after Bluebird Canyon neighborhood, this beautifully renovated coastal cottage offers ocean views, unforgettable sunsets, and the rare flexibility of a permitted detached guest house. The approximately 1,386± square feet includes an 822± square foot main residence and a 564± square foot permitted ADU, creating exceptional versatility for guests, extended family, a private office, or supplemental rental income. The main home was thoughtfully remodeled with custom cabinetry, engineered hardwood floors, quartz countertops, built-in appliances, floating wood shelves, designer tile, and smart-home features throughout. The detached guest house offers its own entrance and continues the elevated design with custom cabinetry, Dekton countertops, floating shelves, designer finishes, a spacious pantry, and a mini-split HVAC system. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting, featuring beautifully maintained landscaping, an Ipe entertaining deck, and a Hot Springs above-ground spa, all designed to enjoy the coastal climate and peaceful canyon setting. Ocean views and colorful sunsets create an ever-changing backdrop from both the property and outdoor living spaces. A true rarity in Laguna Beach, this property offers an abundance of parking seldom found in the area. A jumbo, oversized detached 2-car garage anchors the property, complemented by 2-3 additional driveway spaces and 1-2 extra spots on the gravel side area - an exceptional amount of off-street parking for the area. Additional highlights include the garage's built-in cabinetry, two EV charging outlets, remote-access smart locks, Ring security, landscape lighting, and Moen Flo automatic water shutoff systems serving both residences. Located just minutes from Bluebird Beach, Laguna Village, restaurants, galleries, and nearby hiking and mountain biking trails, this property offers the flexibility, privacy, and lifestyle that make Laguna Beach so desirable.
