Property Description

A rare opportunity awaits on Balboa Island's coveted North Bayfront — an iconic waterfront residence paired with its own private dock directly in front of the home. With a finger slip, two side ties, and generous dock space, it easily accommodates a sailboat/power boat, and Duffy, with flexibility to reconfigure the float to suit your ideal boating lifestyle. Some homes don't just sit on the water—they hold stories, memories, and generations of joy. This beloved Balboa Island waterfront residence, cherished by the same family for more than 80 years, is one of those rare places. Built in 1912 and lovingly expanded in the 1920s, it carries the soul of the Island's early days while offering a front row connection to the harbor that defines life here. Today, it stands as a meaningful piece of local history — and an extraordinary canvas for its next chapter.
Perfectly positioned in the desirable 1200 block of North Bayfront, with direct access to the beach, embrace the gentle, sandy shoreline perfect for swimming and family fun. This home is just moments from the Village, where charming boutiques, cafés, and celebrated dining create a warm, walkable, and welcoming community. From your own patio, watch the magic of the Christmas Boat Parade drift by, or set off for a spontaneous trip to Catalina.
Centrally located near world class shopping, performing arts venues, and top medical institutions such as Hoag Hospital, City of Hope, and the new UCI Medical Center, this home blends coastal charm with everyday convenience.
Whether you envision embracing full time island living, creating a cherished vacation retreat, or building a spectacular new custom residence, this property offers an unparalleled chance to own and preserve a significant piece of Balboa Island history. This home is more than a property, it's a chance to continue a legacy, to build new memories, and to shape the next chapter of a place that has meant so much to so many. The possibilities are truly exceptional.
