Coronado, CA 92118 1309 9th St

When you talk about a rare opportunity, this is arguably one of the rarest that Coronado real estate has offered in a very long time! If we know anything about Coronado real estate values, it’s that the value is in the land. That is universally true, until the improvements on the land give the property a value that is difficult to duplicate. This home was constructed for maximum square footage under long gone zoning laws. A home this size, on this size lot, can no longer be constructed. So now the value returns to the house itself, and that is what we have here. Situated in one of the most sought-after Village locations, these walls have decades of stories to tell with future decades to still be written. A mix of early 20th Century charm and a late 20th Century utility expansion, this is the home so many are waiting for. It can be lived in now, and then reimagined over time. See Supplement for more details. Let’s talk about the early 20th Century charm…step inside and you will immediately feel the magnetism of the original architecture. The living and dining rooms feature high box beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors, stunning period built-ins, and a dramatic brick fireplace that combine to evoke the wholesome feelings of a time gone by. The study has a grand picture window and the classic built-in desk completes the old world ensemble. The rest of the home was created and expanded for maximum space, utility and easy living. Welcome to 1975 and the world changed. Modern sensibilities take hold of growing families in society. There needs to be MORE space, as in collective space, laundry space, coffee space, reading space, bathroom space, but most of all, private bedroom space. Thankfully Coronado had one of the most accommodating zoning laws aimed at the young families that dotted our landscape. Taking full advantage of the options, this home grew into a Brady Bunch meets Partridge Family heaven. Finally, everyone has their space, and on top of that, a lot of it. The design was bold, featuring an abundance of light and high ceilings. You will love the vintage breakfast nook, the bright views, the most excellent laundry room ever, and endless possibilities for reimagination. It’s 50 years later and time and tastes have changed once again. But what hasn’t changed is the need for bright, well-constructed space. In Coronado, welcome home, you have found your space.
