(1658 sq.ft. includes 1172' for the front house plus 486' for the back house). The first thing noticed is the natural light pouring through the high ceilings and abundant windows illuminating the welcoming space. Classic features include original and refinished hardwood floors, original casement windows, traditional board-and-batten walls, built-ins that are not only unique and useful, but with a personality that speaks of yesteryear. The living room is the heart of the home, anchored by a stone fireplace and a large picture window opening to the back yard. Behind the main cottage, accessible by the side yard or from the back alley, is a separate guest house with a bedroom, bath, kitchen, wood burning stove, and a sizeable ocean view deck. This property has many wonderful extras including a one-car garage for the front house plus a one-car garage for the back guest unit, and lots of storage for this era home. It’s perfect for California outdoor living due to abundant outdoor space, enclosed added flex space for an artist studio/office or workout (173.5' not permitted an not included in the total sq.ft.), an outdoor shower and more. Too much to describe, this is a house you need to see!
