Description

Offered for the first time in over 70 years, this 1918 California Craftsman presents a rare restoration opportunity in the Roosevelt Elementary attendance area.

A covered front porch captures peek ocean and island views, while the rear flagstone patio and garden provide inviting outdoor space.

Supplements: All inspections are available. This is a significant project, but for the right buyer offers exceptional architectural character and the potential to create something truly special. Trust sale; shown by appointment only--do not disturb occupant.
