Rare, once in a generation jewel, in North Laguna's Hidden Gem neighborhood – For 40 years one could only dream of an opportunity to discover the enchantment afforded by this premium corner lot property; a location as unique as the view. The experience of being cozily nestled in the peaceful circle of lower Hillcrest & Louise, while simultaneously being gently elevated on a spacious corner lot overlooking the bay, is one that mere words fail to capture. The neighborhood itself has a grounded tranquility that is cherished by its residents. While the scene from this particular home is one of the most exciting and dynamic views in all of Laguna. Let yourself be mesmerized by the bright emerald colors sparkling in the bay while the dolphins entertain your guests. Enjoy the whitewater splashing against the rocks, and in the summer, watch the boats slowly fill the bay. In the winter months your view of Emerald Canyon turns a deep green, then yellow and purple wildflowers grace the rolling hills each spring. Delight in the breathtaking sunsets year-round as this home features what is considered the “ideal sunset orientation" with a primary view window extending from south of Catalina to north of Abalone Point. Not to be outshined by the view, the sweetness and warmth of the home and grounds themselves are the perfect complement to this special location. Carefully updated, this mid-century home offers the comfort and ease of modern single level living without sacrificing the soulful character of Laguna. Vaulted high ceilings in the great room and every bedroom/office coupled with plenty of natural light produce a bright and airy feel throughout the home. The ample corner lot also provides multiple private outdoor spaces. Whether playing, relaxing, entertaining or gardening, you and your guests will be soothed by the lush patios boasting multiple mature fruit bearing trees. A covered potting shed tenderly hugged by perfectly manicured vines is a gardener's fantasy. Your spacious ocean view deck is perfect for dining al fresco or just soaking in the natural artistry of the picturesque sea and hills. To complete this gem of a home, the property features an extra wide garage for two cars & two golf carts plus workshop. The ample driveway adds to the abundance of off-street parking. A short and easy walk to North Laguna's finest Bays and Coves truly makes this a dream property, and for the first time in 40 years, a new dream will become a cherished reality.
