 Photo: MLS/REMAX Bringing Cottage of the Week back to recognize 518 Marigold. Not your grandfather’s cottage – while we love cottages that maintain an original look - we also love cottages like this one that have been wonderfully updated to appeal to current tastes and ensure their survival.  This house has had a couple major renovations in its day, with the first coming in the late 1980s when owner Ross Bartlett converted it from a duplex into a single family residence and the latest in 2017 when owner Shannon Hondl updated it to the beautiful house you see today.  We have not announced it yet but 518 Marigold was selected by our distinguished panel of judges as one of CdM’s Top 100 Cottages. It earned high marks for its modern take on the traditional CdM cottage. We will have more info on the Top 100 announcement soon, apologies that our posting has slowed a bit while we work on getting that ready. This 4 bed/4 bath, 3,100 sq ft house is listed by Lee Ann Canaday and Christa Lee Canaday from REMAX/Fine Homes for $3.374M.

 A Bulldozer levels 609 Jasmine 609 Jasmine was demolished today. We featured it a few months back as it was one of only four homes in CdM that were over 100 years old and the oldest remaining home on the inland side of PCH. It was likely one of the first houses built on that side of PCH as much of the early development in the area centered around the Bluffs and was not that far back.   The perfect cottage for this weekend – is a cottage with a pool! Not too many cottages have a pool but 512 Larkspur, which was built in 1928, had a pool added in 1959.

 619 Iris Ave., Corona del Mar, CA You could regularly walk down Iris and have never seen this cottage. Tucked away down a brick path through some palms and other trees, is this 1 bedroom, 1 bath front house that was built in 1948.
 426 Dahlia Ave., Corona Del Mar, CA (Credit: CRMLS; 2020) This 1939 cottage is a great example of retaining an original look from the street and interesting interior details like exposed beams while expanding to address modern needs (open floor plan, larger closets, ensuite bathrooms, etc) and make for a great living experience. With the recent amendment to the city’s Cottage Preservation Code, more cottage owners should take advantage of the opportunity to improve the livability of their space and ensure the long-term viability of their home.

Realtor.com - 510 Dahlia Zillow.com - 510 Dahlia Redfin.com - 510 Dahlia This week’s house turns 100 this year but may only have a few weeks or days left so you may want to walk by it before it goes. It is one of the oldest remaining homes in CdM and very likely the oldest on the inland side of PCH. It was likely one of the first homes ever built on that side of PCH as much of the early development in the area centered around the Bluffs and was not that far back. It was listed as a 1 bed, 1 bath, 730 sq ft house.  |
