Welcome to 623 Ashland Drive, a home that is truly an unpolished treasure. Located in the highly desirable community of the La Cuesta Racquet Club, minutes from the beach and surrounded by greenbelts, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is ready to be updated and enjoyed for years to come. La Cuesta is a planned unit development meaning that these attached Single Family Homes can qualify for FHA/VA financing. As the largest model in the community, the home has a welcoming atmosphere with its flowing layout. With classic wood floors in dining and kitchen areas and neutral tones throughout, setting the stage for a variety of decor styles. Step into the spacious living area where high ceilings and a large fireplace create a warm and inviting ambiance. The well-designed kitchen, though original, offers plenty of space and functionality with its generous countertops, and classic cabinetry. A convenient island provides additional prep space and seating for casual dining. Behind the custom plantation shutters, glass sliders lead you to one of the true highlights of this property, the back patio. With a quiet greenbelt behind and large lush greenery surrounding, this patio has more privacy than most. After a simple refresh, this patio will be perfect for outdoor relaxation or entertaining guests. Upstairs, you will find a versatile loft area, ideal for a home office or cozy reading nook. The master suite is full of opportunity with its ample closet space and a large bathroom; it's a blank slate to build the perfect retreat. Located off the hallway is another full bath for the two additional bedrooms. Currently, the second and third bedrooms have been combined for an extra large den, but a wall can be added back to restore the original floorplan (see floorplan map in pictures). This home is not only conveniently located close to downtown HB and the beach but also within reach of award-winning schools. With some of the lowest HOA dues in the area, this property represents a strong value-add opportunity. Priced for you to design your perfect space in a great HB neighborhood.
