Property Description

Where the home becomes the destination. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this curated coastal retreat unfolds through light, texture, and an effortless sense of flow. The main level lives like a single-story sanctuary, where elevated spaces float above a relaxed, resort-inspired lower level, creating a thoughtful balance between refinement and ease. A private enclosed courtyard offers a gallery-like arrival with curated art, sculptural lighting, and a custom water feature, while a dramatic glass pivot door opens to an entry washed in natural light. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows frame ocean views, glowing sunsets, and the lush canopy beyond. The living room is anchored by a striking geometric tile fireplace wall, a modern architectural moment with quiet drama. The chef’s kitchen seamlessly blends form and function with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, waterfall island, concealed coffee bar, and warm European oak flooring throughout. The primary suite evokes a boutique hotel retreat with vaulted ceilings, ocean views, and direct access to the yard and hot tub. Two additional rooms provide serene guest and office spaces. Direct access to the 2-car garage through a vibrant laundry room. Downstairs, a resort-inspired level opens to the pool and features family room with bar, game room, gym, sauna, and spa-style wet room, along with an oversized 3rd-car garage accessed from the dead-end alley. Outdoors, enjoy a saltwater lap pool, fire pit, hot tub, entertaining deck, pergola lounge, outdoor shower, garden. Moments from the Beach and Bird Rock Village.
