Presenting a newly reconstructed historic Laguna Beach Craftsman cottage, formerly owned by Old Hollywood actor Charlie Chaplin. This exquisite property showcases exceptional handcraftsmanship while preserving the original architectural design. Positioned on an elevated parcel neighboring the oceanfront, this home offers remarkable panoramic ocean views, extending from Palos Verdes Peninsula up-coast to Catalina Island, and down-coast to Three Arch Bay. A mere 3% of ocean-close Laguna Beach homes provide both up- and down-coast views from within the residence, making this property a rare gem.
The three-story structure of this home includes garages on the ground level and main- and upper-levels on floors two and three, ensuring mesmerizing ocean vistas from both levels. Furthermore, its southwest orientation shields it from wind, heat, and ocean glare, while maintaining an optimal view centered on Catalina Island. An exceptional feature of this property is the direct deeded access to Table Rock Beach, a mere 30 feet away, through private gated stairs.
While some of the original studs have been preserved to retain grandfathered benefits, the rest of the home has been newly constructed and modernized. This includes a new foundation, steel I-beams, custom sapele mahogany woodwork throughout, white oak floors, custom-made doors, window frames, baseboards, and heat registers. The home is equipped with remote-controlled blinds pocketed in the ceilings, custom mahogany garage doors, drystack hand-cut exterior stonework, custom copper gutters/pipes, Dekton porcelain, Bertazzoni kitchen appliances, and Meile washer and dryer.
The main level of the home comprises a Living Room, Dining Area, Kitchen, Downstairs Primary Bedroom with En Suite Bathroom, Powder Room, Laundry Room, and Outdoor Deck. The upper level offers breathtaking 360-degree ocean and mountain views, featuring a second Primary Bedroom with En Suite Bathroom, a spacious second Living Room with Fireplace, Wet Bar, Ocean-Facing Balcony, and an additional Outdoor Deck. This level can serve as secondary entertainment space or as an exclusive primary suite separate from the rest of the house.
In addition, the property includes a rare three-car side-by-side garage wired for electric vehicles and parking space for up to six cars. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac with a traffic signal onto PCH, it provides easy access in and out of Laguna Beach. Local restaurants are within walking distance. Properties of this caliber, offering such dramatic ocean-close views, are rarely available. Indulge in the quintessential Laguna Beach lifestyle in this exceptional home.
