210 Opal Ave, Balboa Island — Turnkey Duplex with Three Ways to Win

Rarely does a Balboa Island property offer this much flexibility. This charming, timeless duplex can be delivered fully vacant at close. a blank slate for however you want to use it.

The front house is a single-story, 3-bed, 2-bath unit with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space, vaulted ceilings, and abundant natural light. It’s fully furnished, features new flooring throughout, and offers direct access to a two-car garage. It also holds an active short-term rental permit. one that has historically generated approximately $45,000 in gross income across 3 months of June, July, and August alone. Recent upgrades include a brand-new bright white shower in the guest bath, an updated master bath, and full replacement of the original cast-iron drain lines with ABS.

The rear unit has been tastefully remodeled with twin bedrooms opening to a light-filled kitchen and living area that spills onto a private rooftop balcony. Perfect for catching ocean breezes, now enhanced by a brand-new mini-split system and whole-house fan. New flooring and a clean, contemporary tile bath complete the space.

How you use it is up to you:

-Owner-occupants can settle into the 3-bed front house and lease the rear unit to help offset carrying costs.
-Investors can run the front house as a proven short-term rental while placing a long-term tenant in the rear unit for income on day one.
-Visionaries can hold the property for cash flow while pursuing entitlements and permits for a brand-new build on one of Newport Beach’s most desirable islands.

However you choose to play it, this is a rare opportunity to own a cash-flowing asset on Balboa Island with a clear path to even greater upside. Don’t miss it.
