About This Home
Step into a classic Morro Bay home with character, potential, and views to match. Tucked into a quiet, established neighborhood, 140 Kern Avenue offers solid 1950s–60s construction, great bones, and a layout full of possibility. This spacious property features three fireplaces — one in the kitchen, living room, and entry — adding warmth and charm throughout. The kitchen includes a double oven, perfect for anyone who loves to cook or entertain, and there are three full bathrooms for added convenience. The garage is equipped with its own golf cart garage, and you could be on the first tee within minutes. While the home is mostly original and ready for updates, the thoughtful floor plan and vintage details like wood paneling and carpeting throughout offer a unique opportunity to restore or remodel to your taste.
Enjoy beautiful views and a fantastic location near downtown Morro Bay, shops, and the Embarcadero. Whether you're a buyer with vision or an investor looking for your next project, this home is ready for its next chapter.
