Nestled within the charming coastal community of Crescent City—a tranquil town known for its rugged North Coast beauty and proximity to iconic sites like Redwood National Park and the historic harbor—this unassuming mid-1950s residence at 279 W Essex Street reflects both potential and promise. Built in 1956, the single-family home spans 1,383 square feet, offering four bedrooms and two bathrooms—a comfortable layout that speaks to classic mid-century suburban sensibility. The property sits on a modest lot of around 6,500 square feet, providing outdoor space for gardening, yard expansion, or a small patio. An attached car-port provides practical parking; inside, a fireplace hints at cozy family gatherings during crisp coastal evenings. Given its age and likely need for renovation or updating, the property can be an attractive cash-sale opportunity, well-suited for buyers who are looking to invest sweat equity into restoring a mid-century home just steps from the Pacific Ocean. Whether envisioned as a revitalized family residence or a weekend beach getaway, this house offers a solid framework and a canvas just waiting for the right creative touch.
