    What's special

    Just a block and a half from the beach, this front corner townhome offers many of the qualities buyers want in a detached home—privacy, a two-story layout, a private patio, direct-feeling access, and abundant natural light—at a price point that's becoming increasingly difficult to find this close to the coast. Located within an intimate four-unit, VA-approved community, the home has no steps to the front door and includes two dedicated garage parking spaces just outside the entry. Inside, the efficient floor plan lives comfortably with an open main level designed for everyday living and entertaining, while upstairs features two spacious ensuite bedrooms and a conveniently located laundry area. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the living space and offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and plenty of workspace. Vinyl windows invite in ocean breezes and natural light, while recent HOA improvements—including a newer roof, completed termite clearance, and updated garage systems—provide added confidence for the next owner. Beyond the home itself, it's the lifestyle that sets this property apart. Walk to the beach, Reama Park, the Imperial Beach Pier, the Tijuana Estuary trails, coffee shops, and local restaurants without ever needing your car. Whether you're searching for your first home, a low-maintenance coastal residence, or a smart investment, opportunities that combine this location, floor plan, and value have become increasingly rare.
