THERE IS ALWAYS A CHECKLIST TO LIVE THE DREAM: a location on the ocean side of Pacific Coast Highway, in desirable North Laguna Beach, close to the beach and town, an ocean view, easy single-level living, and a big plus is the home being updated and ready for move-in. The conversation that follows is always about trade-offs and why this is an impossible checklist until now. We present to you 1570 Via Corsica an utterly charming, wonderfully updated, single-level ocean-view home located at the end of a small cul-de-sac on the last street before the oceanfront, with only four homes on the street, all in desirable North Laguna. Surrounded by homes that are many multiples in price, 1570 Via Corsica sits on a prominent, mostly flat, larger parcel with terrific front and rear space for outdoor living in a neighborhood where very few homes come to market. A classic mid-century rancher, the home has been reimagined and updated for modern living. The gorgeous kitchen, designed with a focus on functionality, is replete with top-shelf Wolf, Bosch, and Thermador appliances. The floor plan flows effortlessly from the ocean-view living room through the dining room to the expansive kitchen. Even with the thorough update, care was taken to preserve the character of the house while creating a delightful, modern feel: a new Dutch door welcomes you into the home from the cozy covered front porch; original oak floors gleam; two fireplaces warm both the living room and dining room; interior doors feature stunning contemporary classic-style hardware throughout; and the wonderfully updated baths
