Description

Live in the Heart of Cambria’s West Village!
This unique 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment sits above a Tudor-style storefront in one of Cambria’s most desirable and walkable neighborhoods. Accessed via a shared back breezeway, the residence offers a spacious layout with updated bathrooms featuring natural stone tile and walk-in showers. The guest bath is complete with new vanity, sink, and toilet, while the primary bath is ready for final fixtures.

The kitchen is functional but needs cabinetry and finishing, and new flooring is needed throughout — all presenting a rare opportunity for sweat equity in a prime location.

Downstairs, a generous and fully separate retail space with a private office, half bath, and storage room adds income potential or live/work flexibility. A private garage and carport are located at the rear of the property.

Plus San Luis Obispo County has confirmed the residential unit is eligible for a short-term vacation rental license (buyer to verify requirements), creating added value and income potential. Whether you're an owner-occupant or investor, this West Village property is a rare find — ready to be refreshed just in time for Cambria’s busy summer and holiday seasons.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from December 12, 2025

    "My parents bought in Cambria in 1977 and I love this neighborhood! You are so close to the ocean, to Cambria's West Village, to Moonstone Beach boardwalk and the Fiscalini Ranch which is a great place to walk, hike or bike! Beautiful ocean and coastal views. Lovely climate!"

    "We have stayed here, vacationed here, and love it. Maybe couples in the 30's need a bigger night life, but beyond that, it's a beautiful place to live and enjoy life. Get away from it all. The best restaurants, shopping, farmer's market, car shows, wineries, NICE people because they love where they live. Seacllift Estates is a beautiful area in Cambria......open, private, and the ocean right there. Didn't know how to rate traffic above, because there is NO TRAFFIC..... "

    "the natural beauty in Cambria is truly stunning! it is a very protected environment with regard to it's wilderness, including the oceans and shorelines. it is an incredibly family friendly and community oriented. both east and west villiages, as well as Moonstone beach, are the perfect definition of quaint and lovely. and residents are welcoming to new people who move there, as long as they are conscious to be respectful of both people and the natural environment. it's good for singles who don't want a lot of nightlife and choose a more quiet, artistic, farmer's market, and charming town to call home. we lived there and loved it. we even got married there. i worked in Cambria as the managing innkeeper for a historic bed and breakfast. we are moving back as soon as we can."
