First time on the market in 54 years, this rare Cardiff gem presents an incredible opportunity to own a piece of coastal charm in the highly sought-after Composer District. Full of character and timeless craftsmanship, this single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach home sits on a serene and private 6,000 sq. ft. lot surrounded by mature trees with no neighbors behind.
