Description

Investment Opportunity: Income-Producing Duplex in Coveted Laguna Canyon A rare chance to acquire a turnkey, income-producing duplex on an oversized lot in one of Coastal Orange County's most supply-constrained submarkets. Tucked into Laguna Canyon — a neighborhood defined by scarcity, character, and consistent rental demand — this property offers dual income streams, strong tenant appeal, and long-term appreciation upside in a market where new inventory is virtually nonexistent. Unit A — Upper | 3 Bed | 2 Bath The primary income driver. Spacious living room, full kitchen, dedicated office, inside laundry, and central A/C — features that command premium rents in Laguna's tight rental pool. Mature landscaping and canyon setting deliver the lifestyle factor today's renters pay up for. Unit B — Lower | 1 Bed | 1 Bath + Office A flexible, light-filled unit ideal for long-term tenancy, executive rental, or owner occupancy under a house-hack strategy. The added office space broadens the renter profile to include remote professionals — a growing demand segment in coastal OC. The Land Generous lot with lush, tropical landscaping, a natural dry riverbed, and mature, high-yielding avocado trees — adding both curb appeal and tangible long-term value. Privacy, mature foliage, and canyon character are difficult to replicate and consistently support above-market rents. Location Fundamentals Walking distance to downtown Laguna Beach, the Sawdust Festival grounds, and the Pageant of the Masters Minutes to world-class beaches and the Pacific Coast Highway corridor Located in a guarded, low-inventory market with strong historical appreciation Year-round rental demand driven by tourism, arts community, and remote-work professionals The Investment Case Dual-income duplex with immediate cash flow House-hack opportunity: live in one unit, offset ownership costs with the other Multigenerational compound potential Long-term hold play in a supply-constrained, brand-name coastal market Value-add potential through rent optimization, short-term/mid-term rental strategy (subject to local regulations), or future redevelopment of the lot Properties like this — true duplexes on large lots in Laguna Canyon — rarely come to market. A grounded opportunity for the investor who values scarcity, location, and durable demand.

"My Mom passed away 1/31/21 needless to say it was a very difficult time for me. I needed help selling my mothers home. I reached out to Ever and he stepped up big! From the beginning he was a true professional great communication skills, great attitude, always made time for me and answered any questions I had. He showed compassion for my situation and went above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for me. Go with Ever you won’t regret it!"

"I worked with Ever through the process of an Estate Sale and sale of a condominium. Throughout the experience he and his team were extremely helpful. I had never been involved with an estate sale previously and was working with the additional factor of not being local. After an initial meeting I was able to deal with he and his team remotely which simplified the entire process and experience. Any questions or issues I had were very quickly addressed and resolved. My entire experience was very positive. Thank You!"

"Ever was simply excellent. He is thorough, approachable and very knowledgable of the house buying process. We appreciated his manner and help throughout our purchase process - he never made us feel pressured to select a house and helped us find a perfect match. He was especially helpful when we needed to juggle urgent travel during the Escrow process, helping us set up power of attorney. We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."
