Originally built in 1941 and lovingly restored throughout the years, each unit features its own private entrance, gorgeous original oak flooring, spacious living room, dine-in kitchen, sunlit bedroom, updated bath, and laundry. The front unit receives the most beautiful natural light and has a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow with a private deck off the living room. The back unit has raised ceilings with skylights, clerestory windows, and a generous backyard that's perfect for entertaining. The garage has been converted to a dreamy bonus room and has already been plumbed- it only requires permitting to make it a great ADU. There's a ton of potential here: live in one and rent out the other unit, or use both as income producing (previous income, not incl. the garage/ADU area, was just under 10k per month), or build your dream home as many are doing in this prime location just minutes away from the sand.
