This $3.85 Million Laguna Beach House Has a Deck With Stunning Pacific Ocean Views
- A cottage-style beach house in Laguna Beach, California, with ocean views is listed for $3.85 million by Jeff Golden and Tim Smith of Coldwell Banker Realty.
Don't let the drama from MTV's 2004 hit show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County fool you. The coastal city doubles as tranquil retreat for many homeowners, alongside picturesque beaches and jaw-dropping ocean views. Those seeking a pad with access to both might find a cottage-style abode overlooking Victoria Beach the perfect place the settle down. Jeff Golden and Tim Smith of Coldwell Banker Realty hold the sun-soaked $3.85 million listing .
Located in a private cul-de-sac, the updated three-bedroom home was built in 1924 with over 1,900 square feet of living space. It's been off the market since 2002, when it sold for $1.22 million, reports show. When it came back to market this past April, it initially listed at $4.25 million before receiving a price cut that brought it down to the current asking price.

Back inside, the gourmet kitchen is anchored by an eat-in island that sits opposite the home's original fireplace from over 100 years ago. Blue Stone counters and Thermador appliances trail the space with Sailor Blue cabinetry, too, ahead of an area that seats four by coastline views. Vintage barn wood flooring leads the way to the primary suite with a captivating sight of its own, plus a built-in desk and ensuite bathroom punctuated by a copper soaking tub that was featured in 2009's comedy-romance flick The Proposal , according to press materials.
The backyard ocean-view deck spans 400 square feet with dining and lounge space.
The primary also opens to out a private patio that's surrounded by lush landscaping. Elsewhere, two secondary bedrooms are featured in the home, with one offering private entry through a Dutch door. There have been a number of notable upgrades to the home, too, such as its 2014 electrical upgrade and new roof/gutters that were done in 2019. A Pure Elements water filtration system installed in 2002, and Lutron-controlled lighting and Rinnai gas heaters incorporated into the coastal pad also make it pleasant for year-round living.
