When a 1941 California Bungalow living meets the modern explosion of development and coastal luxury, you sometimes get an inspiring gem that defies the rules and maintains its own identity. This true California coastal bungalow still holds, with a tight fist, some of the nostalgic features of a simpler time. This 2 bedroom 1 bath 919 square foot home is situated on a 4255 square foot lot and gives the feeling of simplicity and open space in a time when space feels invaluable. Enter through a gated driveway to your private covered porch w/ room to watch the passing parade. Hardwood floors are believed to be original, and intricate coffer styled ceiling detail is a nod to an era long past. The spacious living room is complete with fresh paint, original double hung windows, plenty of light, and open concept living room/dining room space. Dining room isn’t large, but it provides enough space for those cozy family meals. Kitchen is believed to be finished with original hardwood cabinets w/ intricate bottom frame detail on the uppers. Original ceramic tile with true to era inlaid detail. Plenty of light filters through picture window overlooking the backyard giving the kitchen a cozy but open feel. Utility room is spacious with stackable INDOOR laundry space, water heater, and upper storage. Bedrooms are what one might expect from a 919 square foot bungalow. Reasonably sized, simple, and utilitarian. One bedroom maintains the original built in closet space, while the other has been updated with mirrored doors. Both have large windows that give the home plenty of light. Bath is spacious given the original footprint, and is complete with tub/shower, vanity sink with original cabinets and counters, and frosted privacy window for plenty of ventilation. The backyard is what everyone needs in a cramped and crowded coastal setting. Plenty of grass area, covered patio, cactus garden, and long ago converted storage garage. This home is a diamond in the rough and ready for someone to restore it to its former glory. A perfect coastal retreat, or the site of a future ultra lux gem.
