Property Description

A rare and irreplaceable offering in the heart of Laguna Beach — 499 Legion Street presents a lovingly preserved original cottage compound on an exceptional 10,019-square-foot flat lot, cared for by the same family since the early 1960s. Properties of this character, scale, and location simply do not come to market often. The 1,642-square-foot main residence is a classic Laguna cottage with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, solid bones, and consistent upkeep throughout its decades under single-family ownership. The thoughtfully maintained layout retains its original charm while offering an ideal canvas for a buyer's personal vision. A separate, detached 693-square-foot guest cottage with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom sits on the same parcel — immediately ready for multigenerational living, out of town guests, or use as a private creative studio or home office. The outdoor spaces are among the property's most compelling features. A lush front lawn welcomes you from the street, while the stunning central courtyard — shaded by the sweeping canopy of a majestic Magnolia tree — connects the main house to the guest cottage via a covered ranch-style breezeway. A gated, privately enclosed garden area at the rear of the property provides a hidden retreat unlike anything else in the neighborhood. The lot itself is the defining asset. Flat, fully usable parcels of this size in central Laguna Beach are increasingly uncommon, and this one carries long-term value well beyond the current structures. Whether your vision is to restore, remodel, or reimagine the compound entirely, the land provides a foundation that few properties in this market can match. Located minutes from Main Beach, the Laguna Beach Art Walk, PCH dining, and the village's beloved shops and galleries, this property places the Laguna Beach lifestyle at your doorstep —ideal central location with easy access to everything Laguna, and connected to the energy that makes this community one of Southern California's most sought-after addresses. 499 Legion Street is not just a home — it's an opportunity.

Purchase

Ruby and the Raymond Team were great. We're in our new home right now writing this. Ruby helped make this happen and if you are looking for a home in the 5 Cities area I suggest you give Ruby a call. Thanks Ruby, SM

The broker that everyone hopes to hire!

Patrick listed and sold two properties for me this year, and I intend to use him on a third transaction. Patrick is responsive and knows the local area. I am a broker myself, but located in southern California. Patrick is the broker that everyone hopes to hire!
