308 12th, Huntington Beach, CA 92648
Just a few blocks from the sand, this classic Huntington Beach cottage captures the relaxed charm and lifestyle that make Surf City USA so special. Located in the desirable Numbered Streets of Downtown Huntington Beach, this 2-bedroom home with an attached 2-car garage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy coastal living today while planning for future expansion. Start the morning on the front patio with ocean breezes and peek-a-boo ocean views, then grab your bike or surfboard and head to the beach. From here, it’s an easy walk or ride to the Huntington Beach Pier, miles of sandy coastline, and the iconic oceanfront boardwalk. Spend the day surfing, biking along the coast, or simply soaking in the sunshine. The home has the warm character of a traditional California beach cottage, making it the perfect option to enjoy exactly as it is—a charming, low-maintenance coastal retreat with timeless appeal. At the same time, the spacious backyard provides room to grow, giving buyers the flexibility to enhance, expand, or reimagine the property over time. Even more exciting, the property includes city-approved plans to expand the home and create additional living space. The plans allow for converting the current garage into a 3rd bedroom and additional bathroom, plus building a new detached garage with a 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom ADU above. Whether used for guest quarters, multigenerational living, rental income, or a private workspace, the possibilities add tremendous flexibility and long-term value. Living here also means being moments from the vibrant energy of Downtown Huntington Beach and Main Street, where restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and nightlife create a lively coastal atmosphere. Pacific City is nearby as well, offering ocean-view dining, shopping, and entertainment. Whether you’re looking for a primary residence, weekend beach retreat, or investment opportunity with ADU potential, this property offers the perfect combination of location, charm, and future possibilities. Enjoy it as a classic beach cottage today, or take advantage of the approved plans to create something truly special. Homes with this kind of walk-to-the-beach location and upside potential rarely come available.
