Property Description
This property is being offered with FULLY APPROVED CITY PLANS by renowned architect Bob McGraw to expand and remodel into an approximately 2,500 sq ft coastal-cottage-inspired single level residence. Currently a 1,625 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-level home.
The new design will be single-level living with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and preseves the vaulted wood-beam ceilings throughout the main living areas. The great room will feature a wood-burning fireplace and expansive bi-folding glass doors opening to a spacious new front deck—perfect for entertaining, grilling, or enjoying dramatic sunsets. An oversized chef's kitchen with a large center island, custom cabinetry, and generous bar seating flows seamlessly into the dining room and great room. New bi-fold windows with counter seating will capture the ocean views and enhance the experience of morning coffee or evening cocktails. The primary suite is envisioned as a serene retreat with French doors opening to a private back patio, and will have a luxurious bath with dual sinks, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, a home office, or family living—one guest bedroom will have shared patio access, and one guest bedroom will have direct backyard access. The new plan also has a large indoor laundry room, central air conditioning, and a brand new oversized 2-car garage (625+SF) with extra driveway parking.
Situated on a functional 6,100 sq ft lot in a highly desirable neighborhood just outside the gates of Emerald Bay. This property is just a short stroll to Crescent Bay Beach and Park, and offers an epic view of the community's summer fireworks displays. Minutes from Laguna's vibrant Village, galleries, and dining. With approved plans and permits ready to be pulled, the years of time and expense required for planning have already been saved. New (1 year old) retaining walls too. The new owner will have plenty of upside and can customize their finishes and bring this vision to life. Create your ideal North Laguna sanctuary!
