Beach Area Opportunity! Located just one property back from the Pacific on the ocean side of the street, this home is blocks from the 70 acre Douglas Preserve for hiking and the stairs at Mesa Lane for beach access. It is ideal for a remodel of the existing cottage or for building a dream home. The level, usable lot of .47 acres is more than double an average Mesa area property thus offering the ability to build a larger, more private home. Oh, the possibilities.
