Step back to a time when quaint cottages used for summertime escape, dotted the landscape in Corona del Mar. Where cars stayed in the garage, and bicycles were the preferable mode of transportation. Dutch doors, open to friends, neighbors, and those ocean breezes, beckoned . . . . Welcome to a simpler place in time. This timeless classic, located on a prominent corner in one of the most desirable areas of Corona del Mar, offers the opportunity for escape, or a new beginning. Currently a duplex with a front yard surrounded with the quintessential white picket fence, featuring a single level 3 bedroom and 2 bath on the lower (front) level, and a modified 1 bedroom, one bath upper (back) unit. Front house is utterly charming with authentic hardwood floors and white cabinetry, a sunny breakfast nook, and cozy living room with brick wood-burning fireplace. A surprisingly roomy kitchen has views to a private interior patio. All bedrooms are generously sized. Upper house, with large living space, is light and bright with lovely treetop views. New and "newer" appliances make this the perfect hideaway! Enjoy as is, or build to suit on a great corner location, just moments away from all of the Corona del Mar restaurants, shops and beaches.
