Property description
A vintage cottage in the heart of Bird Rock on the west side of one of the best streets, with some ocean views. This one is bright and tidy with lots of natural light, original wood floors in most rooms. Big living room with optional dining area, the kitchen was opened up several years ago in conjunction with a small addition that serves as a dining room or small family room with a large west facing window and some views. Large laundry room with ocean view (really) could be 2nd bath. Charming hidden grotto like patio is tucked behind the oversized 2-car garage and features an outdoor fireplace. Great lot allows for some creative ways to expand, second level addition could bring great ocean views.
