About This Home
A diamond in the rough just 5 houses from the beach in the Hotchkiss Grove Association - and not in a flood zone! Light and bright, the main level features hardwood flooring, a living room with bay window and wood-burning fireplace, separate dining area, half bath off the kitchen, and a full bath with tub shower and dual sinks ready for remodeling. Charming built-in linen storage at the end of the hallway adds a touch of the home's original 1956 character. Downstairs, a second wood-burning fireplace, interior and exterior access, and its own driveway create exciting potential for additional living space or a possible in-law setup. A 1-car attached garage, vinyl siding, natural gas forced-air heat, public water and public sewer add to the home's practical appeal, with existing ductwork providing a head start for future central air. The home has been fully cleaned, landscaping brought back under control, and electrical service just upgraded to 200 amps to better support future improvements. There's work to be done, but also a solid starting point and plenty here to work with. Bring the backyard and concrete patio back to life and make this home your own in a shoreline neighborhood seeing renewed investment for modern coastal living. Pre-listing inspection available upon request.
