About This Home

As of May 2026

1285 Murphy Avenue offers a great opportunity in Crescent City for a vacation getaway, starter home, or investment property. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has had some recent upgrades, while still leaving room for additional improvements and personal touches. Previously used as a rental, the property offers practical potential for continued investment use or as an affordable coastal home base. An enclosed front entry adds useful extra space and a welcoming transition into the home. Set on a spacious corner lot with no existing garage, there appears to be room to add a garage, shop, garden area, or expanded outdoor living space, subject to local requirements. With its flexible lot layout, recent improvements, and remaining upside, this property is a solid option for a buyer willing to do some work and build equity over time. Conveniently located near local amenities, coastal attractions, and the natural beauty of Del Norte County, this home has plenty of potential for the right buyer.
