About 724 Poppy Avenue
Step into timeless Southern California coastal living with this enchanting cottage at 724 Poppy Avenue, a beloved residence originally built in 1941 — one of the cherished vintage homes that reflects Corona del Mar’s rich architectural heritage and storybook village roots. Nestled on a generous 7,200-square-foot lot, this classic property has had only three owners and offers the relaxed, walkable lifestyle for which Corona del Mar is famed. With a welcoming garden entrance, one bedroom plus a cozy den, two baths, and an idyllic setting overlooking Buck Gully, the home maintains its original character while offering a rare opportunity to reimagine and expand in one of Orange County’s most coveted neighborhoods. The cottage’s enduring charm is complemented by its proximity to local boutique shops, cozy cafés, and award-winning beaches, connecting you instantly to the vibrant energy of the village and seaside culture. Its story, rooted in the early development of CdM, gives this address an authenticity and warmth that newer infill often can’t match. Imagine your life here: coffee on the terrace listening to the birds chirp, morning strolls to the beach, evening sunsets at Inspiration Point, and the possibility to restore and personalize a classic coastal cottage with deep local roots. This is not just a home — it’s a piece of Corona del Mar history waiting to be continued.
