The home
About 503 N Bay Front
Oversized Balboa Island North Bayfront lot plus home . . . at an undersized price! The one-story charm cottage is centrally located directly on the Bay and Boardwalk near popular Ruby Beach and consists of three bedrooms and two baths, living room with fireplace, large front patio, garage, plus a small one bedroom and bath separate room perfect for guests, ship's captain etc. In the future, the new owner may decide to build a 2-story home with roof-deck to take in the awesome panoramic views but in the short term, the cottage is eminently livable or would be great as a vacation rental or weekend cottage. Subject to Court Approval and Overbid and sold "AS IS."
