About This Property

207 21st Street is a 3-bed, 2.5-bath, 2,575 sq ft home on a 2,875 sq ft lot, one block off the sand in downtown Huntington Beach. It sits comfortably north of the pier corridor, close enough to feel the ocean breeze and hear the surf, yet far enough removed to avoid the event traffic and parking chaos that come with the pier's busier weekends. What makes this listing extraordinary is next door: 205 21st Street, a vacant 2,938 sq ft residential lot, acquired alongside the home in 2021 and held together since. Combined, the two parcels total roughly 5,813 sq ft of contiguous land. Downtown Proper HB, spanning 1st to 22nd Street, holds about 2,300 single-family lots, nearly all built out decades ago. A homeowner who also owns the vacant lot next door is exceptionally rare, countable on one hand across the entire grid, under a quarter of a percent of all properties. This is one of four such pairings in existence, and the only one currently for sale. A buyer has several paths forward. One option is to live in the existing home and sell the 205 lot separately, with comparable land sales supporting a value around $1.3 million. Another is to combine both lots and build a custom coastal estate of 5,000 square feet or more, complete with a pool, rooftop deck, and likely westward ocean and Catalina views from the upper floors. A third path is new construction on the combined lot built specifically to sell, competing with recent downtown HB luxury comps closing above $6 million, including a recent sale at $6,500,000 and a newly built 5,500 square foot estate listed at $6,995,000. A fourth option is simply expanding the current home onto the adjacent lot, gaining yard space, a pool house, or a guest structure without any new lot consolidation required. Downtown HB remains one of the strongest-appreciating coastal markets in Southern California, and contiguous double-lot opportunities like this are almost never available. They are accumulated over years and rarely released. 207 21st Street. 205 21st Street. One home, one lot, one of the rarest configurations downtown.
