Mid-Century Charmer with Ocean Views and Downtown Access. This 3-bed, 2-bath mid-century modern home sits on a 10,000 sq ft lot and blends vintage appeal with rare flexibility and location. Enjoy ocean views, a classic 1960s kitchen, a stone fireplace, and architectural charm—all ready for your vision. The durable metal roof and dual carports add function and value. A detached second structure offers even more potential: art studio, home office, or possible ADU (RO zoning—buyer to verify). Walk to Blaine’s waterfront, cafes, and shops. Properties with ocean views, a big lot, and downtown walkability are rare at this price. Bring your ideas and make this unique home shine again.
