About This Home

As of July 2025

Tucked away from the street on a spacious, sun-soaked lot, this single-level home offers over 8,000 square feet of flat, usable land with tons of potential. With recent improvements like updated flooring, interior paint, and new doors, it's comfortable as-is or ready for a larger transformation. The flexible floorplan, oversized two-car garage, and SB9 potential add investment upside. Set back off 17th Ave down a quiet drive, the home feels peaceful and removed from street activity. The backyard is a standout, with expansive open space that serves as a blank canvas for gardening, entertaining, or future expansion. Just a short stroll to Leo's Haven park and minutes from the beach, this is a rare opportunity to create your dream home in a prime Live Oak location, all at an approachable price.
