Sometimes a home doesn't just invite you in-it rescues you. Tucked into the heart of Ocean Beach, 2226 Etiwanda feels less like an address and more like a long-exhaled breath you didn't realize you'd been holding. From the moment you step onto the wide Trex front patio-firelight flickering against coastal evenings-you feel the pace of life slow just enough for connection, laughter, and the simple joy of being present. Inside, warmth greets you in every detail. Hardwood floors carry the quiet stories of a home cared for and loved. Fresh paint brightens each room like a new beginning. The kitchen-remodeled with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances-becomes the kind of space where conversations linger long after meals are done. Bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated, including a serene dual-vanity retreat where morning routines feel a little less rushed. But the heart of this property lies in its versatility and generosity. The 375 sq. ft. bonus room, now transformed into a 1-bedroom 1-full Bathroom studio apartment, offers something rare: possibility. It's a haven for a family member who needs support… a refuge for a friend rebuilding… a private space for creative work… or a source of supplemental income that helps lighten life's load. It's the kind of space that steps in right when life calls for flexibility-or a little extra grace. Practical comforts weave seamlessly into the emotional appeal: central heat and A/C to keep every day comfortable, a dedicated laundry room, abundant storage, and owned solar panels that ease the cost of living. The long driveway and single-car garage provide something invaluable in Ocean Beach-parking without stress. All of this rests on a level lot in one of San Diego's most beloved coastal neighborhoods, where sunset walks, sandy mornings, and the laid-back OB spirit become part of your daily rhythm. 2226 Etiwanda isn't just a home-it's a place where life opens up, steadies itself, and begins again. Ready to meet the next chapter of someone's story. Maybe yours.
