1333 Carmelita, Laguna Beach, CA 92651

Occupying a prime corner lot in the heart of Laguna Village, 1333 Carmelita puts the very best of Laguna and the coast just a few blocks away. From the vibrant energy of downtown shops and local dining to the salt air of the nearby beaches, everything that makes Laguna Beach iconic is at your fingertips. Originally reimagined through a complete remodel by Tim Nichol in 2003 and cherished by the current owner since 2010, this home is defined by its comfortable coastal character. A timeless Dutch door with beveled windows welcomes you in, setting the stage for a home that perfectly balances the soul of Craftsman architecture with modern refinements. The experience begins in the striking two-story foyer, featuring a gorgeous stairway with a tall, hand-cut geometric window that floods the entrance with natural refracted light. Past the foyer, you'll find a modern European kitchen, the living room, dining room, and multiple French doors leading outside. The aesthetic is warm and tactile, featuring rich hardwood floors and a classic brick fireplace that anchors the living space. Open ceilings with exposed beams add a sense of volume, ensuring every room feels both airy and grounded. Completing the downstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom featuring a classic clawfoot tub. The upper level is dedicated to a spacious primary suite with ocean views, a walk-in closet and two decks with elevated perspectives of the ocean and Village - perfect for watching the sunsets. The primary bathroom is thoughtfully designed with dual sinks, a large soaking tub, a separate shower, and a private WC. Outside, the property offers multiple private seating areas ideal for morning coffee or hosting a group of sandy friends right off the beach. This home captures the charm and history of the Village while offering an inviting coastal lifestyle.
