Property Description
Offered for the first time since it was built in 1964, this Morro Bay property has been owned by the same family for more than six decades. Originally constructed by the seller's father, the home reflects a simpler era of coastal living. Situated on a 2,200 square foot lot, the approximately 550 square foot residence is compact yet functional, featuring an open living area, kitchen, full bathroom, and a separated sleeping space. The current bedroom area is divided by a partition wall, offering privacy while maintaining an open feel, with potential for a more traditional bedroom configuration if desired. Ocean views can be enjoyed from the south-facing windows and front yard, creating a relaxing coastal atmosphere just minutes from everything Morro Bay has to offer. Two storage sheds in the backyard provide additional space for tools, hobbies, or recreational equipment. Whether you're looking for a cozy coastal retreat, a weekend getaway, an investment opportunity, or a property with future development potential, this offering deserves a closer look. Buyers are encouraged to investigate building and development possibilities directly with the City of Morro Bay and to verify all property information, including square footage, lot size, zoning, permitted uses, development potential, and condition of improvements to their satisfaction. Properties with this kind of character, ocean views, and future potential rarely come available. Bring your vision and imagine the possibilities.
