On the market for the first time, embrace this enormous new-era opportunity in Olde Del Mar. Featuring ocean vistas, the four-unit 14,000sf property can be preserved as an investment. Or build your dream home on this majestic corner lot. Framed by lush landscape, this sophisticated single-story was designed in 1958 by Mid-Century Modern architect Guy Anderson. Each 2BR,1BA unit features private patios w/ sliding glass doors, beaming natural light across vaulted ceilings. Walk to Del Mar Village & beaches.A unique parcel for an equally unique buyer. From its quiet hillside setting, the property recalls the early spirit of Del Mar. In the same family since its inception, the “Schneider Apartments” were commissioned at the zenith of mid-century design. A minimalist masterpiece that maximizes natural beauty, architect Guy Anderson worked alongside notable landscape architect Roy Seifert to create zen tranquility that infuses every inch of this lot, which abuts Ninth Street, Highland Avenue and an alleyway. The four-unit residence has retained the original and essential elements that make this an exemplary architectural gem. Preserve the character and update the property to cherish it as an income opportunity for many years to come. Or, the next buyer can steward this opportunity to build a new, timeless 3,583sf home that exudes classic post-and-beam MCM style. Situated on a large lot there is plenty of potential! Embrace the walkable, enviable North County lifestyle. The property is close to the bluff trails, wide sandy beaches and a buzzy Del Mar Village scene. Restaurants and cafes—plus a new grocery store and book store—have reenergized Del Mar’s status as an extremely viable downtown with a post office, library, city hall, and farmers market. The low-scale design, meanwhile, retains Del Mar’s OG charm.
