Some homes offer beautiful views. Others offer room to grow. This one offers both. Perched to capture panoramic views of the bay, Coronado, and the downtown San Diego skyline, this beautifully maintained Imperial Beach home sits on an expansive approximately 7,630 sq. ft. lot with convenient alley access, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy today while preserving exceptional long-term flexibility. Inside, you’ll find stunning Bavarian hardwood flooring throughout, a remodeled kitchen, paid solar, a newer roof, dual-pane windows (2018), a new water heater, and three energy-efficient mini-split heating and air conditioning systems serving three separate rooms. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet, private bath, and direct access to the stunning bay views. The oversized backyard is where this property truly stands apart. A preliminary ADU feasibility study illustrates the potential for an approximately 800 sq. ft. detached 2-bedroom, 2-bath ADU, while current zoning may also allow for a Junior ADU (buyer to verify with the City of Imperial Beach). Just minutes from the Bayshore Bikeway, the beach, Coronado, Naval Base Coronado, the new Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center, and Imperial Beach’s growing restaurants and breweries, this property offers an exceptional blend of coastal living, future flexibility, and investment potential. Properties with panoramic bay views, oversized lots, and documented ADU potential are rarely available this close to the water.
