This is an excellent opportunity for a buyer who wants to do a major remodel to a mid-century single story waterfront home (OR enlarge). This mostly Original Condition single story waterfront home on Gilbert Island has a single loaded street (homes on just one side of street), and it has a fantastic "sun in the back patio" location. The home features: 4 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, 1646 Square Feet of Living Area, 55 Feet of Water Frontage, Side-tie Boat Dock configured to hold multiple boats (or could hold a yacht up to 53 feet with reconfiguration), private fenced front patio, 2 Car Garage, concrete rear patio, double pane windows, owned solar system, and 55’ X 100' Lot with the pierhead Line extending 30 feet out into the bay. Most waterfront homes have 50 feet (or less) of waterfrontage, so this home allows the opportunity to have a 5 foot larger yacht (LOA)... plus the bigger footprint allows for a home up to be larger than the typical 50X100 lot (based on lot coverage ratio). It is also just a 5 Block Stroll to the soft sands of Sunset Beach... so this waterfront home is also a "beach close" home! This is a fantastic prime location single story opportunity which comes along very rarely in Huntington Harbour.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1964 and described as being in 'mostly original condition,' this 60-year-old waterfront property requires a major remodel or total rehab. While it features owned solar and double-pane windows, the listing explicitly suggests it as a candidate for a new custom residence, indicating that the kitchen, bathrooms, and primary systems are likely at the end of their functional lifespan.
The property features 55 feet of water frontage, which is 5 feet wider than the standard lot, allowing for a larger yacht (up to 53 feet) and a building footprint up to 500 square feet larger than typical 50x100 lots.
Situated on a single-loaded street on Gilbert Island, the home offers enhanced privacy with no neighbors across the street and a desirable 'sun in the back' orientation, all while being just five blocks from Sunset Beach.
This is a premier opportunity for a custom build or major mid-century remodel, featuring a side-tie boat dock and an owned solar system already in place to support a modern luxury residence.
Built in 1964 and described as being in mostly original condition, the property requires a significant capital investment for a total renovation or teardown to meet contemporary standards.
At only 1,646 square feet, the current structure is undersized for the $3.45M price point, making the purchase primarily a land-value acquisition for a buyer prepared for a major project.
