501 Lombardy Lane Laguna Beach CA 92651 MLS #LG24234425

Welcome to 501 Lombardy Lane in Laguna Beach. Sitting on an enchanting street that locals revere for its nostalgic row of cottages and flowering gardens, this thoughtfully designed bungalow embodies the Laguna soul so many seek. Behind a white picket fence and abundantly charming but incredibly livable – this spectacularly updated home has been revitalized without a detail overlooked. Upon entering the French doors, you are greeted by a soaring pitched living room ceiling and an inviting fireplace. Restored original hardwood floors and seagrass carpets are found throughout. The home receives natural light throughout the day, drenching the generously sized living and dining rooms. Major systems like electricity, plumbing, and HVAC have been thoroughly updated or replaced. The home is a study in understated cottage elegance – copper flashing and drainpipes, Ralph Lauren lighting fixtures and window covers, custom cabinetry, and a wonderful design sense throughout. This is the ideal ‘lock and leave’ part-time beach getaway or full-time residence, with an upgraded security system, Google Nest camera, Sonos sound system, and Lutron-controlled lighting system. The well appointed outdoor space is reminiscent of an English garden, while the private brick patio receives Southern California sun nearly all day and is an oasis to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. A rare perk for a Village home, this property features three dedicated off street parking spaces. Only a block or two to the beach, restaurants, Laguna Coffee, and shopping – this is truly a rare offering in a landmark location.
