Description

It’s always been there and hopefully always will be there… “The Red House on the corner…”. You know it. If you’ve lived in Coronado for any amount of time, you’ve probably driven by it at one point or another and smiled and thought, “Oh, that house is so cute”. It’s always been red, and the Craftsman cottage details are beyond inspiring. Well, after more than 6 decades, the time has come to change owners. It’s hard to imagine a more idyllic beach town surf cottage beaming that SoCal lifestyle we crave. The details are emotional, from the lazy front porch to the interior’s moldings and details. This home has had a great life, but now it’s ready for a renewal. The 9th and B location is golden and could not be better for its easy access to everything Coronado has to offer. Boasting a big grassy yard, 1-car garage, and a rare 60x60 lot, the possibilities are endless. See Supplement for Further details. Step inside and you’ll find the interior to be a classic blend of lathe and plaster walls and old school original hardwood floors in most rooms. The windows drench light from all sides, allowing you an amazing chance to watch life stroll by. The home’s appeal is firmly entrenched in yesteryear and a simpler life. A sweet simplicity that features craftsman details such as the wonderful dining room built-in buffet with vintage glass panes, the classic old kitchen cabinetry, or the wonderful moldings throughout the home that accentuate the architecture. Each room efficiently plays with the next, creating a compact, yet liberating experience. The front bedroom also has a great craftsman detail with a built-in cabinet and drawers. The back bedroom has direct access to the grassy yard outside, which is ideal to take advantage of all the outdoor yard space. Finally, the kitchen is set up in old-school charm with an adjoining laundry room. A big bonus is a stand-up basement work area accessed from the back yard. It’s currently set up with a work bench and plenty of room for storage. The home has completed a review by the historic resources commission and has been deemed NOT historic, pending a final hearing. That doesn’t mean you can’t work with the wonderful existing lines and sentimentality. It’s actually a bonus in that this ensures that if you’re looking to restore or expand the existing home, you will have exceptional freedom to create the home of your dreams without someone looking over your shoulder so much. You can add a second story and have much bigger control and freedom over your design and choices. A beautiful reimagined expanded modern craftsman home is just waiting to emerge. There is also plenty of room in the current back yard to do just a 1st level expansion. Create a beautiful new kitchen, add a second bath, or create a new primary suite. You still have the huge side yard to enclose and privatize, so the choice is yours, and the sky is the limit.
