The original detached carriage house offers a rare opportunity for transformation. With two levels and generous square footage, it has the potential to be beautifully reimagined as a 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest house or ADU. There's ample space to incorporate a kitchenette and comfortable living area, all while preserving its historic charm. Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of Del Mar history where timeless architecture, modern luxury, and an unbeatable coastal view location come together to create a truly one-of-a-kind legacy property.
