Diamond in the Rough — Spacious Lot in a Great Location! Bring your vision and renovation ideas to this 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage-style home, built in 1950 and offering approximately 852 square feet of living space on an extra-large 0.29-acre level lot. City water/sewer. The property is located on a quiet, paved roadway with very little traffic. It is surrounded by well-maintained homes and is conveniently located near the college, high school, downtown, shopping, and other amenities. The ocean and Pebble Beach are also just a short drive away, offering opportunities for surfing, beachcombing, and enjoying miles of sandy coastline. The home has been vacant for several years and is being offered as a fixer-upper/renovation project. The property is in very poor, below-average condition and will require substantial work. There are visible areas of exterior and interior fire damage, and the home and areas contain accumulated trash and debris. A trespasser was previously removed from the property by law enforcement, and some of the remaining debris appears to be associated with that incident. Windows are boarded up, a flashlight is needed to see inside. It is open in the back for one to see, however there isn't much to see, badly damaged house, possible teardown as it appears to need Everything. Fenced and gated lot. Behind the cottage is a breezeway leading to an additional storage room. Caution is advised when walking the property due to scattered debris and garbage. The large, level 0.29-acre parcel provides plenty of space and potential. There may be possibilities for adding an ADU, creating additional improvements, or potentially subdividing or developing the parcel in another configuration. Buyer should independently verify all development, subdivision, ADU, zoning, setback, and building possibilities with the appropriate County Planning and Building Departments. This property is under $100,000 and offers a combination of a private setting, an oversized lot, a convenient location, and significant renovation potential. Affordable price for the right buyer, this could be an opportunity to transform a neglected cottage into a special home or explore the development possibilities offered by the generous parcel.
