Property Description
Exceptional Showcase Yale Cottage on Peaceful and Serene Little Balboa Island. Built by Leon Yale, the preeminent builder of the 30s and 40s, this home proudly bears his imprint and all the charm of yesteryear. Just down the block from the South Bayfront, this lovingly maintained cottage features 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and a sleeping loft. Approaching the home through the Dutch door, the great room/living room beckons with the trademark Yale fireplace, beamed ceilings, and bay window with seating. The dining area opens to the living room, with spacious kitchen adjacent. Each of the bedrooms feature soaring beamed ceilings, as does the sleeping loft, along with ample built-in storage and distinctive details throughout. The large sunny front patio is the place to meet and greet Island neighbors, while the side courtyard is ideal for more private outdoor entertaining. A beloved generational home, 117 Abalone is perfect for the buyer wanting their own piece of Island history.
