Tucked away in the heart of South Laguna Village, The Gumball House is a one-of-a-kind coastal cottage with a story as colorful as its past.

From the private patio—your own secluded oasis—to the ocean-view balcony where sunsets steal the show, every corner of this home whispers potential.The flexible layout is a dream for visionaries: the lower level, with two bedrooms, a walk-in closet in the primary, ample storage, and an indoor laundry area, can transform into a guest suite, income-producing rental, or inspiring creative space.

This isn’t just a home; it’s a lifestyle.The Gumball House is a canvas of opportunity in one of California’s most coveted coastal enclaves. Homes with this much soul, history, and jaw-dropping views don’t come along often. Ready to write its next chapter? This Laguna Beach icon could be yours.
