Where South Ocean Beach meets Sunset Cliffs lies this picture perfect 2-on-1 cottage duplex full of vintage coastal charm on a spacious ~7,000 square foot lot. Set back and elevated above the street, up a pathway surrounded by various plants and drought-tolerant landscaping, you'll find two individual 2-bed / 1-bath homes. The front home, a 1930s Craftsman design offers peek ocean views, a recently remodeled bathroom, and a colorful tiled kitchen. The rear home, built in the 50s, features original tiles & fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom, as well as its own private backyard. Each home is about 750 sqft. and offers hardwood flooring, wonderful natural light with plenty of windows, and various outdoor spaces for relaxation, gardening or entertaining. A one-car garage is accessible from the rear alley. This is an incredible opportunity to purchase a home to live in while renting out the other, lease both as an investment property or continue the success the current owner has had as a vacation rental property.
