Storybook beach pad just steps to the sand. Currently used as a duplex, with 1 bedroom/1 bathroom upstairs and a studio downstairs. This 50ftx50ft R3 lot is on the corner of 8th & Palm, and is a short walk down the walkstreet to the beach, or a stroll over to shops, restaurants, and the nightlife of Pier Ave. The private large courtyard is a lush oasis of plants and flowers. The owner's unit upstairs is an adorable beach cottage with wood floors, white galley kitchen with granite counter-tops, lots of windows, built-in cabinets, and forced air heating. The bedroom is spacious and bright with an extra deep closet, and the bathroom has white tile throughout, a separate tub, and shower with frame-less glass enclosure. The downstairs studio unit consists of a main room, kitchen, bathroom, and has large glass sliders letting in tons of natural light and ocean air. There's a 2 car garage with parking in front. The lifestyle and versatility that this property offers is terrific: as a home to enjoy life at the beach, a trophy investment property, or a fantastic location to build a brand new single family home.
