About This Home
As of April 2025Welcome to 918 Marina Street, a thoughtfully designed home in one of Morro Bay’s most desirable neighborhoods—Morro Heights. Built with care and lasting quality, it’s clear this home was designed to be a forever home.
The front yard is a standout feature, with professional landscaping that’s both beautiful and easy to maintain. There’s a built-in firepit where you can unwind and take in the ocean views, and a picnic table that’s perfectly placed for sunny lunches, quiet mornings with coffee, or dinner under the stars. It’s a special spot that really captures the peaceful, coastal vibe of the neighborhood.
Inside, the home is clean, comfortable, and genuinely move-in ready, with thoughtful design touches throughout. Arched doorways add character and charm, while Coretec enhanced flooring and new windows bring comfort and efficiency. The updated kitchen was designed down to the square inch, making smart use of space without sacrificing style, and the bathroom has been tastefully modernized as well. Beyond the main living area, there’s a separate laundry room and a bonus room not included in the official square footage, offering extra flexibility. A long, wide driveway provides ample parking—including space for an RV—and the detached one-car garage adds even more room for storage or projects.
Located just minutes from downtown, the Embarcadero, and nearby trails, this home offers a rare blend of comfort, convenience, and classic coastal charm.
