Remarks

Originally built in 1942 as a seaside vacation cottage welcoming visitors arriving by train and ferry to Benicia, this extraordinary property has been thoughtfully transformed into a flexible coastal retreat blending history, craftsmanship, privacy, and modern functionality. Extensively renovated and expanded beginning in 2004 with the collaboration of respected local contractor Laverty Construction and architect Steve McKee, the original residence was raised and reimagined to create multiple living possibilities for today's evolving lifestyles.  Currently configured upstairs is a two bedroom, two bath main residence with a spiral staircase leading up to private third floor lookout sanctuary with peaks of the Carquinez Strait, and downstairs a large studio-style space with full bath, kitchenette, and office area; previously used for exercise, dance, and therapy. The lower front of property features a comfortable permitted one (or two) bedroom apartment with attached garage, and private entrance. The flexible layout offers rare opportunities for multi-generational living, ADU, income potential, creative workspace, or conversion back to a larger single-family residence.  Located just one home from 9th Street Park, beach, and boat launchand only a short stroll to a b
