Property Description
To own a 1926 historical beach home, fondly referred to as "The Mermaid House", in the small seaside village of Laguna Beach equates to owning a slice of an era, when Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. attended the ribbon-cutting dedication of Pacific Coast Highway. Still a picturesque small town with a handful of remaining quintessential cottages, this home embodies that everyday vacation life...a lazy afternoon lollygagging on the front porch, a nap in the sleeping loft (additional 100sf living space), or a short 3 block stroll to the sand, shopping or dinner. A great escape. The cottage is a meticulously crafted clapboard structure with beamed ceilings, original hardwood flooring, clawfoot tub, open living area, loft sleeping space, including outdoor dining and entertaining spaces on the property, embracing Southern California indoor/outdoor living. Solar (owned) keeps electric bills very low! Property is listed on Laguna Beach Historical Registry as "C" Rated.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
