Steps from Shaw's Cove: Inside the North Laguna Duplex

Andrea Ballesteros July 17, 2026

Tucked into one of Laguna Beach's most coveted enclaves, 166 and 168 Fairview Street is more than a home, it's a rare shot at owning a piece of North Laguna's coastline on your own terms. Just steps from Shaw's Cove, this beautifully renovated duplex pairs sweeping ocean views with the kind of versatility that's hard to find anywhere along the California coast.

A Rare Opportunity, Reimagined

Thoughtfully renovated in 2018 with quality craftsmanship throughout, this North Laguna property was built to work as hard as you want it to. Whether you're eyeing a luxury investment, planning for multigenerational living, or simply want the freedom to live in one residence while the other generates income, this duplex delivers the flexibility that today's coastal buyers are looking for.

Indoor-Outdoor Living, Done Right

Both residences are designed to make the most of their setting. Open-concept living spaces flow effortlessly to expansive view decks through LaCantina folding doors, blurring the line between inside and out. With nearly 500 square feet of combined deck space, there's room to relax, entertain, and take in the kind of ocean views that make Laguna Beach living so sought-after.

Two Residences, Two Distinct Experiences

The lower residence offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, along with generous outdoor living space and a private garden retreat just outside the primary suite; a peaceful escape steps from the ocean.

The upstairs two-bedroom residence has its own expansive deck overlooking the Pacific, perfect for sunset dinners or simply watching the waves roll in. Inside, designer finishes, premium appliances, integrated smart home technology, and central heating and air conditioning bring together comfort and style. Both spaces equally suited to quiet mornings and evening entertaining.

Built for the Long Haul

This wasn't a surface-level refresh. The renovation reached deep into the bones of the property, including updated plumbing and electrical systems, Milgard insulated fiberglass windows, energy-efficient HVAC, solar power, a water softening system, and reverse osmosis drinking water. There's also abundant storage for surfboards, beach chairs, and all the other coastal essentials that come with living this close to the water.

Each residence includes its own private one-car garage and additional driveway parking, while mature lemon and orange trees add a warm, established feel to the outdoor spaces.

A North Laguna Address That Says It All

Location is everything, and this one delivers. Just moments from Shaw's Cove, the Laguna Beach Trolley, renowned restaurants, art galleries, boutique shopping, and some of the area's most beautiful beaches, 166 and 168 Fairview Street places you at the heart of everything that makes Laguna Beach special.


Whether you're looking for a forever home, an income-generating investment, or a multigenerational retreat with room for everyone, this North Laguna duplex is a rare find in a neighborhood where opportunities like this don't come around often.
