Loved by the same family for over 60 years, this warm and inviting 1950's "Balboa Charmer" home is in pristine condition and could be your perfect beach cottage retreat! Located in the highly-coveted & picturesque Peninsula Point neighborhood of the Balboa Peninsula, the 3-bd/2-ba home is on the sunny side of the street, one lot in from the corner and only two lots away from the crashing waves of the ocean. Step inside to find original hardwood floors throughout, high wood-beamed ceilings, diamond casement windows, and a warm & welcoming fireplace. The bright, updated kitchen features maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite counters and plenty of windows to flood the space with natural light. Three spacious bedrooms with large closets feature wood floors, ceiling fans and custom shutters. An oversized two-car attached garage conveniently leads directly into the home and provides ample storage. The outdoor patio is a true highlight, with a south facing brick lined entertainer's space that includes a sitting area, dining area and firepit area--perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing to enjoy sunsets & the ocean breeze. Peninsula Point, located at the very end of the 4-mile Balboa Peninsula, is a historic beach enclave known for its enchanting tree-lined streets, relative quiet setting with long-term residents, and proximity to the harbor entrance and famous Wedge. Residents here are able to join the Balboa Peninsula Racquet Club as well as the voluntary Balboa Peninsula Point Association, which just celebrated 75 years, and offers resident members access to gated bay beach and multiple community activities throughout the year.
