421 8th Street - Huntington Beach CENTURY 21 SUPERSTARS |
Evangeline Hotel 421 8th Street Huntington Beach, CA The
building: This stunning 4,800 square foot 18 room hotel is located just .02 (two
tenths) of a mile away from the crashing waves of sunny Huntington Beach
California and blocks away from Downtown with shopping and dining. This amazing
1906-1907 constructed building is a perfect candidate for a full restoration.
Two Architectural Historians have deemed this building potentially eligible for
the National Register. With three full floors and attic (unfinished) at about
1,600 square feet each, this building would make an unbelievable single family
home, which would be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Framed by two
well established palm trees and accented by the original hitching-rings, a
massive front porch and gigantic Craftsman-style door greet you as you enter the
lobby of the hotel. The entry is open to the sprawling living room with coved
ceiling, hardwood floors and built in bookcase and plate rails. The kitchen of
this hotel is industrial and simple but is also very large and features an
exposed brick chimney from the old wood burning stove, as well as a large
walk-in pantry. The kitchen also features access to the back yard, which has a
mature olive tree, and access to the original barn. There are two staircases to
this building. The wide front staircase newel post is accented with egg and dart
molding and offers a large, bright landing on every floor. These elegant spaces
could be reclaimed from an earlier enclosure. The narrow rear staircase is
simpler in design, originally for use of the hired help. Most of the interior
doors are original five panel doors with the original numbers and slot for guest
name labels. All of the windows to this building are double hung and original.
To a trained eye, the only modification to the floor plan would be the enclosing
of the landings on two floors, as well as the kitchen and several bathrooms. The
vision for re-use: There is a peek-a-boo view to the ocean from the third floor,
which would also be the perfect floor to open into a master suite. The second
floor is spectacular the way it is, but a buyer might open the landing and add a
kitchenette for the enjoyment of morning coffee and a cool drink in the evening
on the massive front-facing balcony. The first floor is quite functional the way
that it is. The great room can contain a living room and dining room. The
kitchen and bathrooms would depend on the new owner’s taste. The ivy-covered
barn could be demolished, but its old growth boards would make great material
for reuse. A new garage with an apartment or studio on top could be considered
on this double lot.
