First time on the market since 1974, rare Westside opportunity. This single level 1915 beach bungalow sits on a generous, flat 6,500 sf lot and enjoys ocean views from the front yard and front bedroom, a daily reminder of the coasts proximity. Inside, the kitchen is tastefully remodeled with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and LVP flooring, balancing modern function with the homes original character. The back door opens to a private, sun soaked yard that feels worlds away: fruit trees, garden beds, and mature privacy hedges frame a spacious outdoor retreat. At the far end of the property sits a 300 sf ADU, with a separate laundry cabin positioned between the two structures. The layout offers flexibility for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. Future potential stands out: under SB9, the 6,500 sf lot could be eligible for a lot split, allowing for an additional home and another ADU. With frontage on two streets, adding a second driveway would be straightforward, expanding design and access options. A true Westside original within walking distance of beaches, top surf, dining, shopping, and trail networks this is a rare chance to own a legacy property with immediate charm and longterm possibility. Minutes to the beaches dining, shops, and trails.
