About this property

Sunny, Charming, Historic 2-Level Cottage-Patio/Yard-Blocks To Beaches/Shops-OB

Enjoy the vintage charm and venerable character of this beautiful & historic Ocean Beach cottage. This lovely 1920s Craftsman Style Bungalow located in the heart of Ocean Beach is a certified historical landmark and was one of the very first cottages built in OB! Updates have been done where needed but most everything is original. The house and lavishly landscaped property have been meticulously maintained and cared for. The house has two full levels including three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The upstairs/main level is complete with two bedrooms; one with a queen Sealy Posturepedic bed and the other with a full size. The bathroom has a large tub and shower available. There is a large living room with comfortable seating, bulit-in bookcases and a gas fireplace. The ample vintage kitchen with breakfast nook features a fully-functional 1940s Chambers gas stove for all of your cooking needs. Built-in cabinetry offers plenty of space for your food items. A large sink with garbage disposal aids in making cean-up a cinch. There is a mudroom between the kitchen and back deck for hanging coats and removing shoes. The lower level boasts a cozy studio complete with a sleeping area with a queen-sized bed, a pullout sleeper sofa, a kitchenette with a small dining table, and a full bathroom, below. Relax on the front porch, back deck, garden, or in one of the two separate patio areas complete with al fresco dining. Delight in a peaceful moment in the swing chairs hanging in the shade of the 50-year-old Japanese Red Pine tree while butterflies and hummingbirds flutter about. Or barbecue on the Weber gas grille surrounded by a gorgeous fenced-in yard with fruit trees, grapevines, native cacti, succulents, and other indigenous flora. Enjoy the convenience of the outdoor laundry area. The property is just blocks from several beaches including a local "secret" spot. Hit the shops and bars, grab brunch, or dine in one of the dozens of wonderful restaurants on and around Newport Ave. Stroll or take in the sunset on Ocean Beach Pier. And...don't forget to check out the OB Farmer's Market & Street Fair every Wednesday from 4:00-8:00 pm!

Great house and garden. Fun location!

This is a perfect spot for exploring Ocean Beach and the surrounding areas. Everything is walkable from the house. It was a nice size for my husband and I, 2 adult children and their partners. We had our privacy and peace in the lower studio with the kids on the main level. Nice furnishings and comfortable beds. There is lots of outdoor space too. Ocean beach has a large variety of restaurants and bars. Surfing lessons available too.
