One block from the sand. Ocean views. Income-producing. Positioned just one block from the ocean in the heart of Imperial Beach, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of lifestyle and versatility. A thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom main residence paired with a detached converted studio creates an ideal setup for income generation, multigenerational living, or a private guest retreat, just steps from the coastline. Set on an expansive .11-acre lot, the home is surrounded by curated outdoor spaces designed for both privacy and ease. Lush greenery frames the west-facing patio, creating a natural buffer from the street while opening to ocean views and golden sunset skies. The outdoor experience is elevated with low-maintenance turf, garden beds, and mature fruit trees including orange, lemon, lime, and avocado, bringing a sense of grounded coastal living to the home. Inside, the remodeled kitchen offers generous cabinetry and flows seamlessly into the main living areas and out to the backyard, creating a natural indoor-outdoor connection. The layout is both functional and inviting, designed for everyday living as well as entertaining. Additional features include paid off solar (NEM2, strong value add), an outdoor shower for post-surf days, a dedicated laundry room with storage, and a fully fenced wraparound yard. Parking is abundant and flexible, with multiple driveway spaces on both sides of the property, ideal for you, guests, or tenants. Beyond the home, Imperial Beach offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle that continues to gain attention for its authenticity and accessibility. Just moments away, the iconic Imperial Beach Pier stretches into the Pacific, perfect for morning walks, sunset views, or a casual afternoon by the water. The recognizable “Imperial Beach” sign along Seacoast Drive has become a local staple, marking the entrance to a beach town that still feels grounded and community-driven. Dining and local spots are woven into everyday living here, and just down the street. From oceanfront patios, local eateries, breweries, and casual seafood to neighborhood cafés and coffee shops. Afternoons can be spent biking along the Strand, catching waves, or walking the shoreline, while evenings naturally transition into sunset views over the water. A mile from your front door, the bayside birding and walking trail offers a peaceful coastal escape. The Silver Strand is within walking distance, offering miles of scenic coastline, biking paths, and one of the most beautiful stretches connecting Imperial Beach to Coronado. It’s ideal for beach rides, long walks, and quiet coastal escapes. Just minutes away, Coronado expands the lifestyle even further, offering a blend of classic coastal charm and elevated amenities. Known for its wide, pristine beaches and iconic Hotel del Coronado, the area is ideal for everything from morning beach walks to sunset dining along Orange Avenue. The bayside offers endless opportunities for boating, paddle boarding, and jet skiing, with calm waters and easy access to marinas and launch points. Coronado Dog Beach is a favorite, providing one of the best off-leash beach experiences in San Diego, while the community itself is known for its walkability, charming shops, and relaxed coastal feel. The home is also eight miles to Naval Base Coronado, adding convenience for military and service-based buyers. Outdoor living is at the core of Imperial Beach, wide sandy beaches, coastal trails, and open space all within reach. It’s a place where the pace slows down, and the focus shifts to enjoying the surroundings, whether that’s a quick surf, a beach walk, or simply being near the ocean.
