225 Ruby is the quintessential Balboa Island cottage. Discover the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience on Ruby Street, where a central location offers both serene streetscapes and easy access to Main Street and the Ferry within minutes. As a duplex, this property includes a 4 bed, 3 bath main house and a 1 bed, 1 bath apartment that is attached to the main house. The main house is full of charm and originality with its two-way brick fireplace, beautiful white kitchen with tiled countertops and custom cabinetry, and secondary living room with direct access to the side yard. All three bedrooms reside upstairs each with ceiling fans and tons of natural lighting.

Overall, everyone is pretty good, I’ve just naturally had some interactions over the 7 years here. "
