Set back from the rest down a long drive, this gated compound in the sought after enclave of Woods Cove is the peaceful retreat you've been looking for. Unwind in this seaside paradise with endless glistening sunsets, ocean views from Catalina Island up to Palos Verdes, and an open and intimate living space. The living room is complete with an automated fireplace and expansive dining counter, complete with bar seating, creating an inviting space for conversation. Sink into any of the multiple dining nooks, inside or out, for a celebratory drink or meal. A spacious deck blends the indoors out, while capturing the ocean views and generous property that surrounds the home. The primary suite with spa-inspired bath captures a serene view of the garden. Guests won’t leave whether they stake claim to the main level room with ocean views, or the guest suite with a private entrance. Unbelievable storage in the attached garage! Enjoy the gentle chorus of local birds throughout the expertly landscaped areas including a beautiful fountain, hot tub, and Snap Sport basketball half court. Location is key maintaining walkability to all of Laguna's amenities, while keeping just out of reach of the major tourist areas. A quick drive to SNA and additional shopping and dining at South Coast Plaza. Rarely is an offering that affords such a unique mix of charm and elegance found in this coastal community.
