About this home

POTENTIAL GALORE!!! This darling and expanded Downtown beach charmer will steal your heart but not your wallet! Walk to HB's famous 4th of July parade or bike to the beach in minutes because this amazing property has a prime location near all the fun! Originally built in 1914 and then expanded and effectively rebuilt in 1995, this home offers all the charm of the original bungalow style home with more modern touches like high-volume cathedral ceilings and large transom windows! You're going to love the dramatic living room w/vaulted ceilings, formal dining room w/vaulted ceilings and bay window, and chef-inspired kitchen with granite counters, loads of cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances! The flex-room/den/office is perfect for all your particular needs and features a new dual pane sliding door w/direct access to the patio deck and huge back yard w/grass yard & multiple fruit trees! The separate family room offers plenty of space for all your large furniture, or could be the living room of your future income producing ADU (auxiliary dwelling unit)! The upstairs primary suite is massive and features soaring vaulted ceilings, large custom transom windows, fully remodeled ensuite full bath, and new dual pane sliding door leading to your own private veranda deck! Recent upgrades include a complete new roof, new engineered wood flooring throughout, complete remodel of 2 bathrooms, and the complete replacement of all exterior concrete at the front driveway, rear driveway, and side walkway. Even the concrete in the garage was completely replaced and then sealed with epoxy flooring. The true hidden value in this gem is the super easy ability to create 2 income producing homes (this floor plan is screaming to be divided) via the property's legal zoning description Residential Low Density (RLD) thus allowing for the potential conversion into a Duplex or an ADU! This home features a very rare long driveway up front and then a 2 car garage in the back w/3 additional driveway parking spaces! With parking at a premium in Downtown HB, this is worth its weight in gold! Your Downtown dream home is finally here!

Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location: Situated in Downtown Huntington Beach, offering easy access to the beach, the famous 4th of July parade, and local attractions, enhancing lifestyle and desirability.
Income Potential & Zoning: Legal RLD zoning and a flexible floor plan provide significant potential for conversion into a Duplex or an ADU, offering future income-generating opportunities.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Features a new roof, engineered wood flooring, two remodeled bathrooms, and completely replaced/sealed concrete driveways and garage floor, reducing immediate maintenance for the buyer.
Abundant Parking: A rare asset in Downtown HB, offering a long front driveway, a 2-car garage, and 3 additional driveway parking spaces, addressing a critical need in the area.
Charming & Modernized Architecture: Blends original 1914 bungalow charm with modern expansions from 1995, including high-volume cathedral ceilings and large transom windows, creating a unique aesthetic.

Cons

Age of Original Structure: While expanded and rebuilt in 1995, the original 1914 construction date might raise concerns for some buyers regarding underlying infrastructure not explicitly detailed as updated.
No Central Air Conditioning Mentioned: The property description does not indicate the presence of a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback during warmer periods for a home of this size.
Future Investment Required for ADU/Duplex: Realizing the full income potential through ADU or Duplex conversion, while feasible, will require additional financial investment, planning, and construction efforts from the buyer.
