Peek ocean views, large two-car garage, generous eat-in kitchen, and surrounded by larger, higher-value homes.

Located within walking distance of superior schools (Ada Harris Elementary and San Dieguito Academy) and just minutes from Cardiff’s pristine beaches, local parks, Seaside Market, and a vibrant dining and shopping scene. New roof Spring 2025. Major plumbing updates by Bill Howe this year. Move right in, renovate over time, or create your dream coastal retreat. Rarely does a property with this combination of location, lot size, and upside potential become available in Cardiff-by-the-Sea.
