As one of the remaining original beach cottages set on the peaceful streets of “The Avenues,” this home offers all of the charm of its past with modern amenities. In front, the enclosed, grassy yard is surrounded by mature landscaping with graceful trees, rose bushes and blooming vines. Once inside, the large windows let in plenty of natural light on the original hardwood floors. The open kitchen has glass front cabinetry, a cooking peninsula, stainless steel appliances and an area for a breakfast table next to a window overlooking the garden. The kitchen opens seamlessly into the living room which has built-in cabinets perfect for a media center and a resting place for books, photos or travel mementos. Down the hall, past the original paneled doors typical for these cottages, are two bright bedrooms that share a bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The large primary suite has two closets and a dedicated bathroom with crisp, white cabinetry and a second tub/shower combination. An attached, enclosed porch offers a bonus room with washer and dryer and could be used for a playroom or home gym space. At the rear of the property is a detached studio space with a private entrance, open kitchen and bathroom perfect for a guest suite or a home office. Just behind the studio is a secluded, enclosed back yard with a grassy area lush with foliage. Additional amenities include a double car garage featuring an attached sizeable storage room with built in shelving. This incredible location allows you to walk to Alta Vista Elementary School and nearby sports courts at Alta Vista Park or take a quick trip for shopping and dining in Riviera Village.
