With nearly 2,100 SF on one level, the… Read More floor plan is both comfortable and flexible, providing an ideal canvas for those who appreciate the promise of future value. The home exudes warmth and privacy. Inside is beautiful mid-century modern ceiling lines, custom wood skylights, and charming details that reflect the care this home has received over the years. High ceilings in both the Primary Suite and the Great Room create a sense of volume and openness, enhancing the natural light and coastal ambiance. Currently configured as 3 bedrooms, the residence is officially a 2-bedroom plus office, with generous square footage that easily allows for re-working the layout into a true 3-bedroom design and the addition of another bath. The Primary Suite is exceptionally spacious, featuring a large sitting area, dual closets, cozy fireplace, and direct access to an outdoor deck where doors open for refreshing ocean breezes. A second fireplace anchors the Great Room just off the kitchen, ideal for relaxed evenings or entertaining. Ocean views from multiple vantage points, including the living room, kitchen, family room, breakfast area, and Primary Bedroom. The living room flows naturally toward a front patio that could be opened up to create seamless indoor-outdoor living. The office or potential third bedroom is highlighted by accordion sliding doors, allowing the occupant to enjoy the ocean view while maintaining flexibility of space. Beyond its interior charm, the property presents a compelling opportunity to add ocean-view square footage on the lot, subject to community guidelines. The neighborhood itself is treasured for its extremely low HOA fees, coastal proximity, and a rich sense of history — long favored by studio executives and notable personalities. Located just moments up the hill from PCH, and minutes to Monarch Bay’s beaches, dining, and resorts, this property blends location, lifestyle, and potential in one remarkable offering.
