Laguna Beach Mermaid House

Located in the Laguna Village area is a house that is commonly referred to as "The Mermaid House."  The name refers to a time when a large majority of the homes in Laguna Beach where smaller bungalow style properties that were built in the rise of the 1920's.  Nowadays, we call these "Tiny Houses" expect these historic homes offer a world of charm and character that you won't find in today's newer construction homes.

How small is the home?  Well, for starters it features a total of two bedrooms, one full and one half bath with a total of 788 square feet of living space.  With the current list price of $1,395,000 this equates to $1,770.30 per square foot.  Sound expensive?  It may sound like a bargain depending on what part of the country you live in.  Single family homes in Laguna Beach currently start at $665,000 which will get you a home that probably needs interior and/or exterior work done to the house.  Also, the location may not be ideal and located in the backroads of the Laguna Beach Canyon area or at the top of a hill.  

The Mermaid House is ideally located in the Woods Cove area which offers a short walking radius to the beach.  Locals in Laguna Beach instantly equate Woods Cove as a very desirable area due to it's wonderful oceanfront and beach close cottages.  The interior of the home is very light and bright with many upgrades found throughout the kitchen and living spaces. Some of the highlights include original hardwood flooring, clawfoot but and a wonderful porch and backyard area.  To make an appointment to see this iconic home please contact any of our Laguna Beach real estate agents at 949-355-1622 today.
