A wonderful combination of three separate structures dating back to 1924. Said to be the beach cottages for the Crenshaw family, these half timber cottages are now showplaces of architectural history & contemporary use adaptation. The architects combined polished the old surfaces, brought kitchen & bathrooms up to date & made this walled & gated compound a flexible grouping of dwelling spaces. The main residence consists of a charming living & dining, great room combination adjacent to an updated smart functioning kitchen plus potentially 3 bedrooms & one bath. The second structure is currently utilized as a master suite surrounded by green scape. The repurposed garage is currently being used as a studio/office plus bathroom. The current zoning is duplex with room for 1 car. The structures are centrally located to the beach, parks, The stairs, Canyon Elementary and Tallula's restaurant.
