This home is unique in this price range in Seaside, due to the fact that the home:
-is in SOUTHWEST Seaside--well west of the highway and south of Broadway--most homes in this price range or lower are in the less desirable north end area of town, or are east of Highway 101, or just a house or two west of that highway
-is on a FULL-SIZED, 50’ X 100’ foot lot with a house design that leaves space on the lot for expansion--many houses in this price range are on a “substandard lot” of less than this size which provides no room for future growth
-has vacation rental potential due to its off street parking--you will want to check the City of Seaside regulations, but one of the Vacation Rental rules is that the house must have one off street parking space for each bedroom, which is why many homes do not qualify--not only does this home have at least three off street spaces (including the garage), but it is also is in the prime Vacation Rental area--Southwest Seaside, approximately three blocks from the beach and two blocks from Downtown Shops/Restaurants--just leave your car in the garage and walk!
