Welcome to 229 Irwin St, an opportunity filled property offering flexible living arrangements, income potential, and glimpses of the ocean. The home features two self-contained living areas, each with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a full kitchen, an excellent setup for extended family, multi-generational living, or buyers seeking additional rental income. The bright upper level also includes a den/storage, ideal for a home office, reading area, or extra living space, along with partial ocean views that add a touch of West Coast charm. The property requires some improvements, including fresh paint, new flooring, and repairs to the stairs and deck surface. For buyers able to look beyond the work involved, there is significant upside potential and an opportunity to add value through thoughtful updates. Attractively priced, this is a compelling option for first-time buyers, renovators, or investors searching for a property with space, flexibility, mature fruit trees, and room to grow.
