Property Description
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You won't find another undisturbed cottage that is this close to the beach. Opportunities galore! In the good old days, Dad poured an RV pad for Grandma's Airstream, where Grandma stayed when she visited the kids. Fast forward 70 years, and the RV pad now holds the space for an extravagant home expansion or a deluxe ADU. This classic Beach Cottage has served its original family well; lots of Love. Several generations enjoyed life in this home, with its gumdrop-shaped trees providing total privacy. Now, the city of Huntington Beach has grown around the house. Pacific City, a five-star resort, with its shopping, restaurants, and daily entertainment, is only a few steps away, but once you enter the front gate, time stands still, and Old Huntington's surfy, sweet vibe is in full effect. The avocado tree has fifty years of history and grows the perfect avocado every time. The green grass, garden beds, boardwalk-style side yard, create an instant no-stress feeling. The lot is perfect. It is 4720 SqFt with two structures, including the original 3-bed, 2-bath home, and a detached two-car garage. The RV Pad is adjacent to the garage, accessible via the RV gate in the back alley. The home is mature, 74 years old, built in 1950, and lived in by the original owner until this year. Is it a teardown? Maybe not. Perhaps less is more, and a simple home just a few steps from the ocean, hidden from the hustle and bustle of the world, could be considered a luxury. The kitchen is just right, with a window over the sink where the ocean breeze is constant. The breakfast nook is adorable. A side door opens to a pantry area that provides convenient access to the kitchen from the detached garage. The picture windows across the living room create a beautiful, light-filled interior. The primary bedroom is incredibly spacious with direct access to a fantastic patio room. It also includes a charming vintage turquoise-tiled bathroom. The backyard is a little oasis—private and simple, with plenty of space for new hopes and dreams. Maybe privacy and a quiet life, steps from the sand is enough. You be the judge. Live the quiet life as you sketch out your future plans. One thing is for sure: Huntington Beach has become the most desirable beach city on the West Coast. Surf City offers a mild climate, excellent surfing, HB Pier, the 4th of July Parade, and 9.5 miles of beach! You can't go wrong. Come and visit this unique property
