About This Home

As of December 2015

This is the ultimate tiny vintage cottage by the sea and is ideally located in the heart of downtown Huntington Beach. Capture the Surf City lifestyle with this unique detached, single-level cottage that is a rare hold-out from the old days before the “tall and skinny” fad took over. Relax with a margarita on the front porch, enjoying the cooling ocean breeze that is exclusive to this south-facing orientation, or enjoy a BBQ dinner with friends on the spacious and private rear patio. Located four blocks from the ocean, this property is just far enough from PCH to be in a quiet neighborhood while being conveniently close to the downtown lifestyle. The upgraded interior features a soothing contemporary paint palette and high ceilings and the double patio doors facing the breeze help make the interior feel spacious and airy. Don’t be deceived by the size – with a kitchen that opens to the living room, a bathroom, a walk-in closet, a laundry room, and a bedroom for a queen bed, this cottage offers everything necessary for a beach getaway. Alley access to the back patio for parking a car. Perfect condo alternative – own your own land and avoid the HOA dues. Rebuilt in 1996 including copper plumbing and a newer roof.
