122.5 Opal Avenue just got a fresh update. This charming upper-level residence, ideally located in one of Balboa Island’s most coveted locations just moments from the waterfront, now features brand-new wood laminate flooring throughout and a new ductless mini-split A/C system in the living room for year-round comfort.

This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home captures the essence of classic island living, blending timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Inside, you’ll find original 12-inch knotty pine paneling, painted white to brighten the space, along with beautiful wood-beamed ceilings that add warmth and architectural charm. The vintage-inspired bathroom features classic white tile with blue accents, offering both character and functionality.

The remodeled kitchen is stylish and practical, showcasing updated maple cabinetry and modern appliances while maintaining the home’s coastal cottage feel. The inviting living area centers around a cozy faux fireplace and flows seamlessly onto a spacious, treehouse-style deck nestled among a mature Magnolia tree, creating a private and serene setting that’s perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

While there is no garage, the property offers a large shared parking area and is set back from the street for added privacy. Just a short stroll to the bay, local shops, restaurants, and the ferry, 122.5 Opal Avenue delivers the very best of Balboa Island living in a truly special setting.
