About This Home

As of October 2024

Beautiful, circa 1947, four-bedroom cottage seated on Little Balboa Island’s scenic Grand Canal and Boardwalk. This waterfront property has been in the same family for 81 years and has irreplaceable grace and charm. Open beamed ceilings, original fireplace, and a vintage Wedgewood stove are a few of the stunning amenities. The first level showcases a great room facing the Canal, a bright kitchen, and two bedrooms with Jack and Jill bath. The second level is separate from the first, with a private staircase leading to two bedrooms, a bath, and an open kitchen and living area. The sunny front patio overlooks the Canal and the home’s own high tide pier and buoy. There is also a cozy side patio that opens to the two-car garage. Enjoy the peaceful, relaxed lifestyle of Little Balboa Island in this dreamy cottage.
