215 Portland Avenue
Sold for $1,075,00 — a sun-drenched beachside cottage.
Sitting only seven minutes to the sand, this c. 1979 bungalow in downtown Huntington Beach has been beautifully renovated, while maintaining character + warmth.
Stroll the lush garden pathway to your front porch, anchored by a mature plumeria. Upon entry, you'll find an incredible great room with soaring, vaulted ceilings that connects the living spaces with light hardwood floors. Past your dining room + bar is a chef's kitchen, enjoying modern appliances (+ dishwasher), stone countertops, and ample cabinetry. Just off this room is the central atrium-style courtyard. A true highlight of the residence, this flex space is made for the indoor/outdoor dweller … perfect for morning yoga, afternoon lounging, and evenings drying off from a sunset surf.
Wander inside again and find a blissful guest bedroom + bath with soaking tub. A little farther lands you in the oversized primary, with a moody ensuite decked out in Zia tile, two closets + french doors that open onto another private patio. This oasis is covered by a pergola, and surrounded by native landscaping + a grassy area, perfect for barefoot activities. While you're outside, lap back around to the massive two-car garage. This space is fitted with a washer/dryer, EV charger, and ample built-in shelving. While currently used for parking, its finished nature + two skylights + soaring wooden ceilings lend themselves to easy reimagining … a future second living/movie room/creative flex space.
The house on Portland Avenue has been freshly painted with newer systems, including central AC/heat. All this is located minutes from shops, dining, + the Huntington Pier, and you're only a quick jaunt to SoCal's most famed beaches in Newport, Laguna, & Costa Mesa. A rare offering for a blissful seaside lifestyle.
From my client —
“Sam was an outstanding listing agent for the sale of my beach house. She has a natural eye for architecture and presentation, and her creative marketing made the home truly shine.
From setting the right price to guiding the negotiations, she handled every detail with ease while always staying warm, responsive, and genuinely invested in the outcome.
I’m so grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend Sam to any seller who wants their home represented with care, thoughtfulness, and expertise.”
