Not your average beach bungalow! Set on a rare double lot just one street from the sand, on the coveted Balboa Peninsula, this one-of-a-kind Spanish Colonial Revival estate, channels the charm of a Caribbean-style fortress with arched windows, soaring wood beam ceilings, and wrought iron detailing. Enjoy peek-a-boo ocean views and unmatched curb appeal in a home that’s as iconic as it is inviting.
Offering 3+ bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms, including a private guest/maid’s quarters with separate entrance and staircase, this layout is as flexible as it is functional. The gated front patio is an entertainer’s dream, with authentic Saltillo tile, a built-in fireplace, BBQ/bar, and an ornate fountain anchoring the courtyard.
Inside, modern updates seamlessly blend with old-world character: a gourmet kitchen with custom wood cabinetry, granite counters, and Sub-Zero/Viking appliances; a dreamy primary suite with walk-in closet, hardwood floors, and balcony access; and a spa-inspired bath featuring heated marble floors, dual vanities, marble slab shower, and soaking tub.
Private alley access to an attached 2-car garage, just steps from the beach and minutes from world-renowned dining, shopping, and entertainment. Gated, private, and dripping with storybook character—this is coastal living with soul.
