Sea Cliff: A Cottage That Fits the Village
32 9th Avenue, Sea Cliff.

A 1928 cottage with Craftsman notes, a screened porch, and a compact open main floor, the house feels scaled to the village around it rather than oversized for it. Sea Cliff’s own site still defines the place by its late-Victorian architectural character, and this home lands best in that context: modest, older, and part of a village where the houses still set the tone.
