Property description
Nestled within an exclusive gated community, this stunning 3-bedroom, 3+bath residence offers breathtaking ocean views and unforgettable sunsets. The thoughtfully designed reverse floor plan takes full advantage of the sweeping vistas, filling the home with natural light. As you step inside, you'll be drawn to the handcrafted metal staircase that leads to the expansive upstairs great room -- the heart of the home. Here, you'll find custom cabinetry with abundant storage, top-tier appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, GE Monogram refrigerator, double ovens, and a GE Profile microwave. Relax by the cozy fireplace or step onto the balcony to take in the fresh ocean breeze and view. The primary bedroom captures the morning sunrise and the occasional moonrise. An elevator brings you downstairs to a serene library and a spacious office, both featuring built-in cabinetry, plus two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a media area, and access to the outdoor kitchen overlooking the hot tub and sparkling lap pool. Entertain or unwind at the end of the day. Picture yourself watching the sun dip into the Pacific from your private spa. Conveniently located near Seascape, the beach, freeway, hiking trails, schools, shopping, and dining. Coastal living at its finest. Time to make it yours!
