One block to Newport Bay, two blocks to Balboa Peninsula Beach, this tastefully updated home is ready to enjoy now: either as a full-time residence or as a beach-close 2nd home. Located on one of the quieter Balboa Peninsula streets, away from the bustle of Balboa Avenue, this home provides close proximity to both the bay and the beach while enjoying the charming and calmer lifestyle of E Bay Avenue. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a front brick patio with built-in BBQ for enjoying pleasant summer evenings with family and friends. Upstairs, just off the family room/den, is a spacious 2nd level deck with clear views of the bay for relaxing or entertaining. This is a terrific place to watch the bay activities such as the Christmas boat parade from the privacy of your own home. Just a short 7ish minute walk to the Fun Zone and area restaurants and about 1/4 mile drive to the Balboa Island Ferry. There is also potential for the new owner to improve access to the existing rooftop deck.
