2670 Kelly Ave, McKinleyville, CA 95519

If you’ve been searching for a rare McKinleyville parcel with real whitewater views and room to spread out, 2670 Kelly Ave delivers the setting — and the possibilities. Perched above town on nearly 0.92 acres, this mid-1960s two-level home offers five bedrooms across ~2,517 square feet, with an upper-level main living area that opens onto a huge deck facing the Pacific. The layout gives you flexible living: vaulted ceilings in the main living space, a large kitchen and living room that flow to the deck for entertaining, and a separate downstairs living room with its own entry — a configuration that can accommodate guests, extended family, or a future ADU conversion (buyer to verify).

This is a classic value-add opportunity: the “bones are there” — generous room sizes, classic mid-century proportions, and the most important asset, the view — but cosmetic and systems updating will allow you to capture meaningful equity. The deck and upper living area are the showpieces: wide-sweeping ocean and coast views that create an outdoor room perfect for barbecues, sunset gatherings, or morning coffee while watching surf breaks. The large lot provides privacy and layout options: gardens, garages, or ancillary structures are all possibilities subject to permitting.

Location is a standout. You’re steps from the Hammond Trail for biking and walking, minutes from Clam Beach and other coastal access points, and a short drive to McKinleyville’s shops and services — yet the setting feels private and coastal. With an asking price of $819,000, this home sits in a niche of the local market where lots with views and acreage command premiums. For buyers who value place and potential, this is a canvas that rewards thoughtful investment.

Bring your contractor and your design ideas. Key next steps: verify bath count and mechanical condition, review septic/water utility details, and consult the county on coastal setbacks if you intend structural changes. Showings by appointment with the listing agent — this property moves for buyers who can act on vision.
