513 Oak Street, Laguna Beach, CA 92651

With a coveted location near sandy coves, broad beaches, famous galleries, unique restaurants and enchanting shops, this classic 1928 shingled cottage makes it easy to leave the car at home and enjoy all that Laguna Beach has to offer. Just moment’s from the seaside town’s popular HIP District, the single-level home reveals a private and spacious lot of nearly 4,500 square feet. Its white picket fence is right out of a storybook and embraces beautifully maintained grounds that display colorful gardens, pavered patios and pathways, a long paver-finished driveway with ample parking, and a detached one-car garage. Shade trees sway over a private backyard that complements fun times with friends, relaxing with a glass of wine, or simply kicking back in the sunshine with your favorite book. A covered front porch and inviting Dutch door offer a peek at the ocean and lead to a bright and open interior that features white vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, wood flooring and crisp white-paneled walls. Open shelving and butcher-block countertops embellish the kitchen, both bedrooms are comfortably sized, and two baths shine with updated tile and, in one, a freestanding tub. Direct access to Oak Street Beach is only a few blocks from home, and neighborhood parks, outstanding Laguna Beach schools, and miles and miles of scenic trails are close by. This property captures the essence of Southern California living . . . Where every day feels like a vacation.
