AN-OPPORTUNITY-THIS-RARE-ALERT!! Properties like 116 San Nicholas Avenue are exceptionally rare. Set directly along the harbor, seconds from the Pacific Ocean in one of the most coveted locations in Silver Strand, this charming beach cottage offers something truly extraordinary: the opportunity to create a substantial custom residence on one of the last remaining waterfront lots along San Nicholas Avenue. The existing 798-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage, in original condition and lovingly reminiscent of Silver Strand's classic beach days, offers a unique starting point for reimagining this exceptional property. With sweeping, unobstructed views of the ocean, harbor, and channel, the setting is nothing short of spectacular. Surrounded by larger two- and three-story homes, this is a rare chance to build upon a premier piece of coastal real estate. Silver Strand is one of the most tightly knit and sought-after coastal communities in the 805, celebrated for world-class surf, its unmistakable beach-town lifestyle, and a community that rarely lets go of what it has. Investment Opportunity knocks!
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1955 and explicitly described as being in 'original condition,' this 69-year-old cottage has had no significant renovations. The listing markets the property primarily for its land value and the opportunity to build a custom residence, as the current structure is obsolete compared to the surrounding multi-story homes.
High School: Rancho Campana High (9/10).
Situated directly along the harbor and just seconds from the Pacific Ocean, this property occupies one of the most coveted and rare waterfront positions in the Silver Strand community.
As one of the last remaining waterfront lots, this site offers a premier opportunity to build a substantial custom multi-story residence among other high-end coastal homes.
The existing 798-square-foot cottage is in original 1955 condition, meaning the value is primarily in the land and will likely require a total teardown or significant capital for redevelopment.
At a list price of $1.25 million for a very small existing structure, the entry cost is high for buyers who must also budget for the costs of new construction or extensive remodeling.
No exterior & parking available.
