Description

Why buy just a home when you can buy a piece of history? Built in 1910 near the San Pedro waterfront during the height of the commercial fishing era, this unique California Bungalow features a rarely seen "Widow’s Attic" at the very top of the home. Accessed by a *ship’s ladder* from the second level, this lookout allowed a wife to watch for her husband’s boat returning safely to harbor. The location is just as special today. The home is a short walk from the soon-to-open West Harbor waterfront development, Cabrillo Marina, and the vibrant downtown San Pedro district with its shops, restaurants, and coastal attractions. From the moment you arrive, the property’s tremendous curb appeal stands out with a charming front porch, classic picket fence, mature trees, and architectural details that make it a true San Pedro classic. Inside, historic character blends with modern updates. The living spaces feature beautifully refinished hardwood floor, abundant natural light, and period craftsmanship. The remodeled kitchen includes updated cabinetry, butcher block–style countertops, brick accents, & a spacious peninsula ideal for gathering & everyday living. A charming Dutch door opens to the rear yard, creating easy indoor-outdoor access. The lower level features the primary bedroom and a guest bedroom, offering comfortable main-level living. The upper level serves as a children’s wing with sleeping areas, a common living space, and its own bathroom. This level also features a mini-split heat/AC syetem, wide-plank wood flooring and a dormer window, adding charm inside while enhancing the home’s exterior appeal. Bathrooms have also been tastefully updated with the idea of maintaining the home’s character while adding modern comfort. System improvements include upgraded plumbing and electrical, giving peace of mind while preserving the home’s historic appeal.. What else? How about an approximately 700 sq ft ADU above the 3+ car garage, complete with its own garage and a mini-split heat/AC system. It's ideal for guests, extended family, rental income, or a home workspace. An oversized two-car garage for the main home offers drive-thru access to the yard, providing flexibility for additional parking, storage, or backyard access. The rear yard offers space for entertaining, gardening, or enjoying the coastal breeze. With rare historic features, thoughtful upgrades, a detached ADU, and a prime location, this is a unique opportunity to own a true piece of San Pedro history.
