Cottage of the Week: 619 Iris

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.

Despite its diminutive size, it manages to have 2 fireplaces.  It was built in the same year as several other survivors on the 600 block of Iris.   604 & 606 across the street were both built the same year and each have their own privacy from the street.  611 & 621 were also built in 1948 and are set up a bit from the street.

​619 was sold in December 2019 and an earlier 2017 listing for the house suggests that there are city approved plans to put in condos.  Hopefully this 72 year old front house is around for at least a few more years.
