Coastal Charm Meets Character with Elegance.
Welcome home to your single story Morro Bay beach house with local charm! Tucked into a quiet neighborhood just moments from the beach and the iconic Rock. This stunning beach cottage home is bursting with vintage soul and modern-day comfort. Easy walk to downtown with all the restaurants and shops, etc. Has a view of the ocean out the kitchen window and backyard!
Check out this amazing wide-open kitchen that begs for gatherings —with a gas range ready for your best recipes, and glass-front cabinetry that flows straight into a farmhouse dining nook flooded with natural light. Picture Sunday brunches here, coffee in hand, blue skies out of every window.
Down the hall, the bedroom delivers old-world elegance with warm hardwood floors and hillside views peeking through the curtains. There's a 2nd bedroom that is a big size as well, with lots of natural light. In between the bedrooms, is a beautiful bathroom bursting with retro yellow tile charm that feels like a page straight out of a vintage postcard.
The backyard is a true hidden gem with a meticulous garden where you can enjoy the junior ADU and shed along with a grassy yard wandering through blooming gardens, fruit trees, a chicken coop, a beautiful patio to enjoy the view of the beach and the Morro Bay rock, creating a magical private escape perfect for lazy afternoons, garden parties, or just soaking up that Central Coast air.
Add a convenient laundry room, along with a 2nd bathroom and a drought-tolerant curb appeal, a long big driveway, and you've got a property that checks every box. The house entire house has been replaced with brand new copper pipes in 2020. The kitchen has been fully remodeled along with new flooring.
This is more than a house — it's a lifestyle. Don't just picture coastal living. Come claim it.
