More Insights

Built in 1914 (111 years old).
Condition: This property, while originally built in 1914, was effectively rebuilt in 1995 and has undergone significant recent upgrades. The description highlights a complete new roof, new engineered wood flooring throughout, and a complete remodel of two bathrooms. The images confirm the bathrooms are modern with high-quality finishes (marble-look tile, glass shower enclosures, contemporary vanities). The kitchen features granite counters and stainless steel appliances, appearing well-maintained and functional, though the cabinet style suggests it might not be brand new. The flooring is excellent. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, and major systems appear functional. The lack of central air conditioning is a minor drawback, but overall, the extensive recent updates elevate its condition to 'Good'.

About this home

POTENTIAL GALORE!!! This darling and expanded Downtown beach charmer will steal your heart but not your wallet! Walk to HB's famous 4th of July parade or bike to the beach in minutes because this amazing property has a prime location near all the fun! Originally built in 1914 and then expanded and effectively rebuilt in 1995, this home offers all the charm of the original bungalow style home with more modern touches like high-volume cathedral ceilings and large transom windows! You're going to love the dramatic living room w/vaulted ceilings, formal dining room w/vaulted ceilings and bay window, and chef-inspired kitchen with granite counters, loads of cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances! The flex-room/den/office is perfect for all your particular needs and features a new dual pane sliding door w/direct access to the patio deck and huge back yard w/grass yard & multiple fruit trees! The separate family room offers plenty of space for all your large furniture, or could be the living room of your future income producing ADU (auxiliary dwelling unit)! The upstairs primary suite is massive and features soaring vaulted ceilings, large custom transom windows, fully remodeled ensuite full bath, and new dual pane sliding door leading to your own private veranda deck! Recent upgrades include a complete new roof, new engineered wood flooring throughout, complete remodel of 2 bathrooms, and the complete replacement of all exterior concrete at the front driveway, rear driveway, and side walkway. Even the concrete in the garage was completely replaced and then sealed with epoxy flooring. The true hidden value in this gem is the super easy ability to create 2 income producing homes (this floor plan is screaming to be divided) via the property's legal zoning description Residential Low Density (RLD) thus allowing for the potential conversion into a Duplex or an ADU! This home features a very rare long driveway up front and then a 2 car garage in the back w/3 additional driveway parking spaces! With parking at a premium in Downtown HB, this is worth its weight in gold! Your Downtown dream home is finally here!

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Huntington Seacliff Elementary School (9/10). High School: Huntington Beach High School (9/10).
Exceptional Income Potential: The property's Residential Low Density (RLD) zoning offers a rare and easy ability to convert into a duplex or add an Auxiliary Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing significant income-generating opportunities.
Prime Downtown Location: Boasts an unbeatable location within walking distance to Huntington Beach's famous 4th of July parade and a short bike ride to the beach, enhancing lifestyle and desirability.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Significant capital improvements include a complete new roof, new engineered wood flooring, two fully remodeled bathrooms, and all-new exterior concrete work, minimizing immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Abundant & Rare Parking: Features a very rare long front driveway, a 2-car garage, and 3 additional driveway parking spaces, a highly valuable asset in the parking-scarce Downtown Huntington Beach area.
Charming & Modernized Interior: Successfully blends the charm of an original bungalow with modern touches like high-volume cathedral ceilings, large transom windows, a chef-inspired kitchen, and a massive primary suite with a private veranda.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Despite being expanded and effectively rebuilt in 1995, the original 1914 construction date may still imply potential for unforeseen maintenance issues or require updates to systems not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort drawback for potential buyers during warmer months, especially given modern expectations.
Recent Price Reduction: A notable price drop from the original listing price suggests the property may have been initially overpriced or has faced market resistance, potentially indicating a need for further negotiation or a perceived value gap.
