215 Portland Ave Huntington Beach, CA 92648

A sun-drenched beachside cottage made for laid-back California living. Sitting only seven minutes to the sand, this c. 1979 bungalow in downtown Huntington Beach has been beautifully renovated, while maintaining character + warmth. Stroll the lush garden pathway to your front porch, anchored by a mature plumeria. Upon entry, you'll find an incredible great room with soaring, vaulted ceilings that connects the living spaces with light hardwood floors. Past your dining room + bar is a chef's kitchen, enjoying modern appliances (+ dishwasher), stone countertops, and ample cabinetry. Just off this room is the central atrium-style courtyard. A true highlight of the residence, this flex space is made for the indoor/outdoor dweller ... perfect for morning yoga, afternoon lounging, and evenings drying off from a sunset surf. Wander inside again and find a blissful guest bedroom + bath with soaking tub. A little farther lands you in the oversized primary, with a moody ensuite decked out in Zia tile, two closets + french doors that open onto another private patio. This oasis is covered by a pergola, and surrounded by native landscaping + a grassy area, perfect for barefoot activities. While you're outside, lap back around to the massive two-car garage. This space is fitted with a washer/dryer, EV charger, and ample built-in shelving. While currently used for parking, its finished nature + two skylights + soaring wooden ceilings lend themselves to easy reimagining ... a future second living/movie room/creative flex space. The house on Portland Avenue has been freshly painted with newer systems, including central AC/heat. All this is located minutes from shops, dining, + the Huntington Pier, and you're only a quick jaunt to SoCal's most famed beaches in Newport, Laguna, & Costa Mesa. A rare offering for a blissful seaside lifestyle.
