744 Manzanita Drive, Laguna Beach, CA 92651

Every once in a while, a ‘secret’ special property becomes available in Laguna Beach – a property that is unassuming from the street, but magical once you enter the gate. 744 Manzanita is one of these enchanting opportunities. Built the year the iconic Pottery Shack opened in Laguna Beach, this cottage embodies what it must have been like to live at the beach in 1936. Rambling paths, lush gardens, and magnificent ocean and village views framed by old growth trees that make you feel like you’re the only home for miles. With three bedrooms and a fabulous upstairs sun porch, the home almost forces you to slow down just a little and enjoy yourself. Wonderfully maintained and updated but true to the original, the property also has a separate ‘utility’ space that could host a variety of functions. When the current owner walked through the front gate years ago he made the snap decision to purchase. While many years have elapsed since then, this is your opportunity to own this special property for yourself.
