Description

If you’ve been dreaming of the perfect beach bungalow escape, your search may be over. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath detached single-family home delivers the effortless lifestyle the Balboa Peninsula is known for. Completely rebuilt in 2021, this single-level coastal jewel at 122 E. Bay Ave. welcomes you with an easy, relaxed charm—from the terrazzo entry steps to the Dutch door that sets the tone for the home’s inviting beachside character. Inside, the interiors reflect the soft, natural palette of the coastline: crisp whites, sun-washed tones, beautiful white oak flooring, and thoughtfully curated lighting and cabinetry that create a breezy, sophisticated retreat. Every detail has been designed to maximize both comfort and style. Custom built-ins provide clever storage while doubling as relaxed seating. A handsome mantel crowns the recycled terrazzo fireplace surround, creating a cozy focal point that flows seamlessly into the open kitchen. The kitchen itself feels perfectly suited for casual coastal living, featuring premium stainless appliances, quality fixtures, and a striking island with waterfall edges, seating, hidden electrical, and subtle backlighting. The front patio, the outdoor shower and private rear yard are ideal after gathering with friends at the beach. Step outside and you’re immersed in the friendly rhythm of Peninsula life. Surfing, skimboarding, swimming beaches, and bayfront activities are all moments away, making it easy to embrace the carefree lifestyle that defines this iconic coastal community. With its relaxed design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and unbeatable value as the lowest-priced single-family home on the Peninsula by a wide margin, this beach bungalow lives far larger than its footprint suggests. Chic. Effortless. A place to slow down, breathe in the ocean air, and create memories for generations. This is more than a home—it’s your personal coastal sanctuary.
