1780 Anaheim Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92627

Property Description

Originally built in 1922, this Westside Costa Mesa duplex harkens back to Orange County’s bucolic era. Under the rustic, barn red exterior are two 1 bedroom/1 bathroom units and historic details such as the glass doorknob on the front door and the small cellar underneath 1780 Anaheim Avenue. 
 
 Units are separately metered for electricity and have washer and dryer hookups. A long driveway for each unit allows parking of up to 3 cars, plus additional space on the side for more. A huge, private yard is included for each unit and currently there are several storage sheds throughout. There is upside in current rental rates. 
 
 Included is an extra parcel of land: APN 424-272-10, which is probably one of the skinniest legal parcels in Costa Mesa - approximately 8 feet wide by 182 feet long for an additional approx 1500 sqft of lot area. This parcel is at the back and runs behind both neighboring properties.
 
 This distinct duplex is perfect for the owner occupant looking to live in the larger unit and rent out the other. Or bring your toolbox and imagination for another use that could lead to big upside for the right investor: remodel the interiors and reposition the building as a short term rental. This could be a destination for AirBnB renters longing for stay with charm and character in coastal Orange County.
