Historic Laguna Beach Artist Cottage Hits Market for Under £3 Million
A historic Laguna Beach cottage, once the studio of artist Henri De Kruif, is now on the market for under £3 million. Built in the early 1900s, the one-bedroom home has been carefully restored while keeping its original redwood walls and Douglas fir floors. The 727-square-foot property was last purchased in 2021 by filmmaker Gregory Caruso for £1.7 million. He oversaw a remodel that preserved its unique character while adding modern touches. The kitchen now features a Viking range, and the en suite bathroom boasts hand-painted copper finishes. The cottage remains a rare piece of Laguna Beach history, combining artistic heritage with modern comforts. Its protected status ensures its character will be preserved for future owners. The sale includes all furnishings and decorative details.
