509 8th Street is a fully reimagined, coastal retreat in the heart of Downtown Huntington Beach. Designer-owned and masterfully rebuilt down to the studs, every inch has been upgraded with intention, artistry, and timeless high-end materials and elevated craftsmanship. From the standing seam metal roof, Amish crafted Mullett Cabinets and vintage Malm fireplace, custom millwork, brand new Sub-Zero fridge and Viking stove, to the staircase built of reclaimed, 100 year old Oregon Barn wood, this home is a true masterpiece, like none other you will see in the downtown area. In addition to the endless list of designer upgrades, newer plumbing, electrical and HVAC, the layout offers 2 main floor and 2 roof-top patios, a turf dog run, a glass garage door living room wall, and an abundance of natural light throughout all areas of the home. Also, this particular location, being just 4 blocks to the beach and 4 blocks to the shops and restaurants of Main Street, allows for easy walkability, yet it is far enough away, and is surrounded by mostly single family homes, to remain quiet and tranquil, avoiding the hustle, bustle, and parking issues often associated with homes closer to the Beach. 509 8th St is truly a rare opportunity to own one of the more unique properties ever designed and constructed in Downtown HB.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Elementary School: Huntington Seacliff Elementary School (9/10). High School: Huntington Beach High School (9/10).
Exceptional Renovation & High-End Finishes: Masterfully rebuilt down to the studs with timeless high-end materials, elevated craftsmanship, and designer upgrades including a standing seam metal roof, Amish crafted Mullett Cabinets, Sub-Zero fridge, Viking stove, and reclaimed Oregon Barn wood staircase.
Premier Walkable Location: Ideally situated just 4 blocks to the beach and 4 blocks to the shops and restaurants of Main Street, offering unparalleled walkability to Huntington Beach's prime attractions.
Tranquil Downtown Setting: Positioned far enough from the main bustle and surrounded by single-family homes, providing a quiet and tranquil environment rare for a downtown coastal property, avoiding common parking and noise issues.
Modernized Core Systems: Features newer plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, ensuring modern functionality and reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a prospective buyer.
Distinctive Lifestyle Amenities: Offers unique features such as two main floor and two roof-top patios, a turf dog run, a glass garage door living room wall, and abundant natural light, enhancing the coastal living experience.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2800, other record living area = 2448.
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2938, living area = 2800.
Premium Price Point: The $2.96 million list price positions this property at the very top of the market, potentially limiting the buyer pool to those specifically seeking a highly customized, luxury coastal residence.
Niche Aesthetic Appeal: While a 'masterpiece' with 'artistry,' the highly unique and individualized design, featuring specific vintage and reclaimed elements, may not appeal to all luxury buyers, potentially narrowing market interest.
Limited Traditional Outdoor Space: With a lot size of 2938 sqft for a 2800 sqft home, the property offers relatively limited traditional yard space, relying more on patios and a dog run for outdoor living areas.
