Two homes, one storybook lot in Bluff Heights, a short bike ride to the beach. Out front, the most adorable 1918 Craftsman bungalow welcomes you from its deep covered porch. Inside, hardwood floors, plantation shutters, a box-beam ceiling and central air set the stage, while a built-in window seat and vintage brass light make the dining room the coziest spot for dinners with friends. The updated kitchen pairs quartz counters, subway tile and stainless appliances with a sun-filled breakfast nook, indoor laundry, and a charming pantry area with a second sink behind an original swinging door. Three bedrooms with crystal doorknobs and five-panel doors share a classic vintage bath with a mint-green tub and built-in vanity. Step out back to a private patio framed by a towering palm and fragrant herb beds, perfect for morning coffee or evenings under the stars.
And if this cottage weren’t enough to make your heart jump for joy, wait until you see the completely updated ADU. Attached at the rear with its own address and entrance and no connecting doors, it offers a split floor plan with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, including an oversized primary suite with a walk-in closet and walk-in shower. The open great room features French doors and the kitchen has quartz counters, shaker cabinets, stainless appliances and a breakfast bar. Split-system A/C, indoor laundry, a private turf yard and dedicated gated parking off the alley make it truly independent.
Owned solar keeps energy bills low on both homes. A long driveway with gated parking and a vintage detached garage for storage or a workshop round it all out. Live in one and rent the other, host family or guests in style, create the ultimate studio, or rent both. Stroll to the vintage shops, coffee houses and eateries of Retro Row on 4th Street, catch the sunset at the beach, or spend the afternoon on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore. A cottage-plus-ADU like this doesn’t come around often.
