About this home

Hello, I'm a special property with three charming cottages on an extraordinary half-acre in coastal Live Oak. My three 1BR/1BA homes need love, but what I lack in polish, I make up for in pure potential and a walkable location that offers privacy and design flexibility with mature trees, morning light and ocean breezes on my nearly 20,000 SF level lot. Imagine waking up just a 5-minute stroll from Black's Beach with Live Oak Farmers Market at your doorstep (3 min) and morning coffee at Bodega del Lago (4 min). Maybe you'll create a family compound, design your dream beach estate with a pool and gardens, or build a surf-centric community where multiple families can share this coastal paradise and catch waves at Pleasure Point. I'm zoned for possibilities (RM-2.5) with flexible development standards (3-stories). Your options: 1) leverage SB684 for up to 6 detached single-family homes on separate parcels, 2) use Density Bonus for up to 19 multifamily units (14 base + 5 bonus), 3) create your single dream home with incredible outdoor living or beach houses for extended family and rental income - your vision can become reality. Properties like me in walkable East Cliff Village don't come along often. Come visit. Walk to the beach. Imagine possibilities. Create your coastal legacy.
