Experience a slice of California history at 451 Hawthorne Road, a stunning 1921 Craftsman home, beautifully restored by the current owners nestled in the heart of Laguna Beach. This rare architectural treasure unfolds across a 17,762 sq foot private lot of coveted North Laguna real estate, boasting 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths - a perfect blend of century-old craftsmanship and modern luxury. The estate-like grounds feature a lush lawn, garden pavilion, oversized private pool, mature trees, and a variety of fruit trees creating a private oasis with ocean views. Inside, discover a gourmet kitchen with top-tier appliances, granite counters, and a bar counter that opens to a spacious dining room with three sets of French doors leading to the main patio and gardens. The main living room, graced with ocean views, features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, custom solid wood flooring, and open-beamed ceilings. The lower level includes a warm and inviting family room, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a powder room. One main level bedroom serves as a self-contained guest house, complete with a new bathroom and small kitchen, accessible from both inside and outside the home. The upper level houses the primary bedroom suite impressing with a spacious sitting room, fireplace, high open-beamed ceilings, and access to an upper deck offering spectacular ocean views; the ultimate private sanctuary. The primary bathroom boasts an oversized shower and separate tub. Completing this sumptuous primary suite is a private office or massage room. Across the hallway a generous bedroom and bathroom complete the upper level. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this property benefits from the Mills Act, a California state law that provides significant property tax reductions to owners who actively preserve historic buildings. This incentive not only ensures the conservation of architectural treasures but also offers substantial financial advantages to discerning buyers. With its oversized garage and onsite parking for 7 cars, 451 Hawthorne Rd isn't just a home; it's a living legacy of California's rich cultural tapestry, waiting for its next chapter to be written. This rare opportunity allows you to own a piece of Laguna Beach history, where every detail tells a story of creativity, independence, and timeless beauty.
