Property description
Beautifully remodeled beach house on quiet cul de sac West of I-5 w/ocean views from 1st & 2nd stories. Prepare dinner in a fully upgraded kitchen while viewing the ocean blue! Open, bright & sunny floorplan with gorgeous wood floors. Second story is all master suite with office/retreat & private view deck. Spacious yard. [Supplement]: Beautifully remodeled 2-story ocean view home located in a west facing hillside neighborhood on a quiet cul de sac, west of I-5. Enter through an eye-catching IWP clear alder entry door w/sidelight into an updated entry with art wall. Then begin to enjoy sit-down ocean views from the great room, fully remodeled kitchen, and the expansive deck. The floorplan is very open and bright and the home is extensively remodeled including new windows, doors, hardware, lighting, upgraded kitchen and baths, and architectural detailing. Door hardware is Baldwin Classic Oil-Rubbed bronze, throughout. Lovely aged hardwood floors in main living areas, kitchen and 2 downstairs bedrooms. Remodeled kitchen includes stunning Silestone quartz composite countertops, Jenn-Air downdraft range, KitchenAid built-in refrigerator and breakfast peninsula. Two of the downstairs bedrooms maintain just a hint of the original beach house with well-crafted and refinished wide board knotty pine cabinets and closets---preserving some of the original beachy charm. The second story is the master suite, accessed by a stairwell that affords ocean views from virtually every angle. The suite includes an extra room for a retreat/nursery/weight room/office. Ocean views from the bedroom and truly panoramic views with peaks of whitewater from the private deck. The living room is wired for surround sound and the home is CAT5 wired to all bedrooms and the master retreat. Incredible attention to detail. Spacious, private yard. Lots and lots of storage. Close to Cedros Design District, train station & beach. Available information from City appears to indicate property is currently below maximum Floor Area Ratio possibly offering an opportunity to expand. Buyer to verify all measurements, estimates, and building and zoning info during due diligence.
