## Description

### Agent Description
Nestled within the charming coastal community of Crescent City-a tranquil town known for its rugged North Coast beauty and proximity to iconic sites like Redwood National Park and the historic harbor-this unassuming mid-1950s residence at 279 W Essex Street reflects both potential and promise. Built in 1956, the single-family home spans 1,383 square feet, offering four bedrooms and two bathrooms-a comfortable layout that speaks to classic mid-century suburban sensibility. The property sits on a modest lot of around 6,500 square feet, providing outdoor space for gardening, yard expansion, or a small patio. An attached car-port provides practical parking; inside, a fireplace hints at cozy family gatherings during crisp coastal evenings. Given its age and likely need for renovation or updating, the property can be an attractive cash-sale opportunity, well-suited for buyers who are looking to invest sweat equity into restoring a mid-century home just steps from the Pacific Ocean. Whether envisioned as a revitalized family residence or a weekend beach getaway, this house offers a solid framework and a canvas just waiting for the right creative touch.
