About 204 Amethyst Avenue
Back on Market! This charming 1948 Balboa Island cottage with a separate upper unit is a “must see”! The main house is 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and the separate unit is 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a nice living room area, no kitchen. There is an interior patio for outside dining, Morning coffee or reading a good Book. Take a step back in time with the beautiful knotty pine walls, galley kitchen and custom brown wood shutters. I added 2 pictures #5 and #9 that were "Virtually Staged" to show you what the Living Room and Kitchen would look like with white walls. Just another example of the versatility of this darling home.
You can feel the energy of the memories of years of Fun family vacations when you walk through the front door. Great location on the Island! A block to S. Bay Front and 2 blocks to all the shops and Restaurants on Marine Ave. You will love the Balboa Island lifestyle and this lovely Balboa Island Cottage.
