La Casa de las Mariposas is a rare gem in the vibrant coastal community of Shell Beach. Offered for the first time in over 40 years, it is one of the few original homes on multiple lots still in existence in this very desirable village and offers opportunities to enjoy the classic California beach life of bygone times. The cozy 1939 bungalow is situated on 3 contiguous lots with one Assessor Parcel #, located 6 lots from Ocean Boulevard. The total lot size is over 8,000 square feet and includes casual landscaping with a grape arbor and lawn areas. The garage, also built in 1939, has a 1-bedroom unit on the second floor. Check with City of Pismo Beach regarding expansion/replacement of existing buildings or developing the lots.
