Near the end of a small, one-way street in Salinas, this Contractor's Special awaits transformation at the hands of an investor or anyone who loves bringing a vision to life. A single-level home offering two bedrooms and one bathroom, it sits steps from a beloved independent flower shop and just minutes from great bakeries, restaurants, local stores, and a community park. Fragrant citrus trees grow along the fence that encloses the front yard, where there is ample room to cultivate vibrant gardens or create a hardscaped sitting area for relaxed outdoor entertaining. A landscape architect would work wonders here, both in the front yard and in the spacious backyard. Fully fenced and private, it represents a genuine blank canvas -- a chance to mold something beautiful out of compelling raw material. The existing home spans just 480 square feet and sits on 4,497 square feet of land, suggesting potential for future expansion, whether through an addition or an ADU. Inside, a generous living room flows seamlessly into an informal dining area, while a galley kitchen occupies its own space at the rear of the home and looks out onto the yard. This is a wonderful home ready for someone with imagination to write the next chapter of its story.
