You have something you want to accomplish. And planning takes time. Rental income can help carry it! An existing tenant gives you income while you investigate your plans.
Two streets, one corner. Talk about 'multi-unit access' - a developers dream!! The cottage is small. The conversation about the land is much bigger. Two street frontages and substantial open ground give you plenty to discuss with your designer and the City. Some of the homework is already here! The recorded 2015 corner record documents Lots 36–40. Five mapped lots within one assessor parcel. You don't have to look far to see the City's previous approvals to build large, multi-unit properties! What is it that YOU WANT to accomplish? A cottage, land around it, and the Pacific a short walk away. Each matters...together, they make this worth calling for your personal tour today. Visual proof of the old saying: 'Buy land. They're not making any more of it.' Now, back to the cottage. Earthy tones blend with a natural setting. Unlike other properties in this price point, when you step outside, you are not confronted with a postage stamp-sized lot. Brighton gives you options, with no hurry to decide. The outdoor space is an important part of what you are buying. Brighton gives you that freedom. An everyday detail worth noticing: the ramped approach and railings lead right to the entry. No stairs. Original charm...with some character overhead! The pitched ceiling and exposed beam give the living room a sense of height and space. Textured walls/ceilings, central wall furnace and natural light. Living room to kitchen, laundry/utility room...short connections between the places you use every day. Long-standing property management and long-term tenant have kept this home in solid shape! Like the Living Room, the Kitchen also enjoys afternoon light. The eat-in Kitchen brings meals and conversation into the same practical space. The doorway in the foreground leads to welcomed storage space, as well as a 3rd exit to the home! Speaking of storage space...a separate walk-in kitchen pantry! Eastern morning sun and plus another southern facing window, natural light is a reoccuring theme with this cottage home. Solid surface counter, tile shower and updated fixtures, the Bath also enjoys that added benefit of multiple widows for natural light and ventilation. The Utility Room, the connection that gives outdoor chores a practical landing place before they reach the main living spaces. And a Utility Sink! Soak, rinse and clean up here, while keeping the kitchen sink...for the kitchen! But wait...there is storage beyond the cottage! Under Supplements, find the 1976 permit for this storage building! Good to have choices!! Concrete underfoot...in the permitted storage building. Store vehicles, equipment and belongings, with space separate from the cottage. Both a 'man door' and a 'one-car garage door', access for large items is a non-issue with Brighton! Keep the supplies out here...and keep the cottage's living space for living. Wall storage helps give tools and belongings a place of their own. Those high windows bring light in while leaving lower walls available for storage. This room is in the detached permitted storage building - it's not habitable space. Additionally, seller disclosures reveal this room has water damage at ceiling. The gathering does not have to end at the cottage walls. A private paved patio gives you an outdoor place to sit, spread out and enjoy the grounds. Not every outdoor spot needs to be big. Greenery frames this smaller sitting area...a different pace from the open yard and parking areas. A little coastal color at the street edge! The established flowering aloes bring vibrant color and character to this coastal corner, adding something you can enjoy now, while you consider the property's longer-term plans. Those mature branches create an outdoor canopy of their own. Shade, texture and a focal point...already part of the grounds. Existing circle driveway with shade. Truly...what would you do with this space? A 'hammock corner' is a great idea! So is 'build a second, third, forth or fifth home'. There is no wrong answer here. Here is another stretch of open ground. Add a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home w/garage? You know, day-long sun is great for a garden. Course, pickball is very popular now... (smile) The choice is YOURS! Brighton gives you that choice. Driveway from Brighton heading to back garage door. Yes, even more space. What a wonderful problem to have at this entry-level price point!!! Room to arrive. Room to unload. Room to think about how this approach would work best FOR YOU. Newer, larger, far more expensive homes around you...all former beach cottages. City states THIS PARCEL can potentially support 1) Primary residence, 2) Junior ADU, 3) Interior ADU, 4) Attached ADU and 5) Detached ADU. You don't have to! BUT IT'S SO RARE TO FIND A PROPERTY THAT CAN!!! Land. A coastal setting. An existing cottage and options to investigate. Pictures start the conversation...a personal tour helps you decide where it could go. Call today to arrange that visit. A 1937 built cottage, and a much bigger story around it. You have seen the land, the storage and the coastal setting. Now come see how it feels in person. Arrange your tour today, and expect good things.

Description

A coastal cottage. Five mapped lots. Substantial corner parcel. Space to think bigger. At 8th & Brighton, this level property brings together approximately 16, 488 sf (0.38 acre), an existing rental home & a permitted storage building. The cottage is tenant-occupied under a lease, making this an opportunity for buyers seeking rental income today while considering plans for tomorrow. Continue renting the existing home, explore additional housing, or plan a future move after the tenancy ends. Planning takes time—rental income can help carry it! So whether your goals are simple or ambitious, the appeal starts w/a modest home on a generous parcel in a coastal setting. For those thinking bigger, City discussions have identified potential for up to FIVE TOTAL DWELLINGS through a primary-home/ADU approach all WITHOUT A LOT SPLIT!!! Two street frontages offer a starting point for exploring a future home(s) with additional rental(s), extended living arrangements or a broader income-producing property. Buyers to confirm w/the City. The 739 sf, one-bedroom, one-bath cottage features a living room w/a pitched ceiling & exposed beam, an eat-in kitchen w/updated appliances/fixtures, a walk-in pantry, a separate storage & utility area, a covered porch & newer asphalt shingle roof. A detached permitted storage building adds useful space for equipment, a vehicle & toys. Also attached to the storage building is space the seller refers to as the “studio”, though it is not represented as habitable space, or included in the advertised living area. Development aside, your future cottage lifestyle could be every bit as appealing as a larger plan: Your house can be small w/out your lifestyle being small. Envision room for the RV, boat & beach gear, a garden that supplies the dinner table, or a backyard made for bocce, barbecues and time with friends. Create space for hobbies, a place for the dogs to stretch their legs, and a quiet corner of California’s Coastline all your own. For you, keep the cottage and imagine what preserving this much breathing room on the coast could mean through time. Nearby West Grand Avenue dining and shops, Ramona Garden Park and less than a mile drive to beach access of the Pacific Ocean. An income property investment today, a coastal home for your future chapter, or a blended approach offering a home for you and income for generations. With 803 Brighton, there is no wrong answer, only great options at an entry-level price.
