First time on the market in 54 years, this rare Cardiff gem presents an incredible opportunity to own a piece of coastal charm in the highly sought-after Composer District. Full of character and timeless craftsmanship, this single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach home sits on a serene and private 6,000 sq. ft. lot surrounded by mature trees with no neighbors behind. Adding to its appeal, the property includes a large additional structure (used previously as a martial arts studio), R-2 zoning, and the potential for ocean views from a future second story-offering endless possibilities for expansion, redevelopment, or creating your coastal dream retreat. Ideally located west of the freeway, this home is just a short stroll to Cardiffs iconic beaches, Seaside Market, VGs Donuts, acclaimed restaurants, the Cardiff Rail Trail, and award-winning schools. Whether you preserve its classic charm or reimagine it into something new, this property captures the very best of the Southern California coastal lifestyle!
