PROPERTY DETAILS | LAGUNA BEACH HOMES FOR SALE | MILLS ACT HOMES

Mills Act properties in the downtown core are a popular topic on the LALoftBlog.com . It is a great place to find a valuable property in an amazing historic building that qualifies for the mills act tax savings. Some are fixer uppers that need some work others are already luxury lofts in a turnkey state. We want to point out to everyone that eligible properties can be found all over the state. It is fun to see them in other locations. A breathtaking beachfront home in Laguna Beach, once owned by Betty Davis, is one of these showcase properties.

The two-time Academy Award winner was at the pinnacle of her formidable career when she bought the home in 1947 as an escape from the Hollywood paparazzi, living there until 1950.

Sitting on a bluff overlooking rocky Woods Cove, a five-minute drive south of Laguna, this 5,400-square-foot, six-bedroom French Normandy-style house perches high above the cove, with private-access steps leading to a sandy beach.

A $3 million price chop might help Bette Davis’ former Laguna Beach home finally sell.

Canadian investment manager Richard Wernham has put the 5,472-square-foot home at 1991 Ocean Way on the market for $16.995 million, according to Dirt.

The oceanfront mansion, built in 1929, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Being a historic home, the property comes with a renewable 10-year Mills Act contract that allows homeowners to receive attractive benefits, including substantially reduced property taxes, in exchange for preserving the home. #millsact #bettedavis

It’s often the case that once a brick wall is exposed it is either painted or sealed to keep the bricks from deteriorating from exposure to moisture.
