About This Home
As of March 2024Welcome to 1160 Cedar Street in the charming coastal town of Montara! This 2,590 sq ft property offers 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on an oversized lot, including a rare find: a 2-bedroom, ground-floor ADU. With a separate driveway and private entrance, the ADU presents an excellent rental opportunity. Alternatively, this home's flexible floor plan is also ideal for multigenerational families who want the convenience of separate but connected spaces through a shared interior door. The main house features a gorgeous great room with soaring ceilings. The updated kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a decorative tile backsplash. There is also a ground-floor primary bedroom suite with seating area and sliders to a sunny deck in the spacious yard. Upstairs, you'll find 2 additional bedrooms and a newly renovated bathroom. This home enjoys an abundance of natural light through large windows and several skylights. Plus, rooftop solar panels deliver energy efficiency. Located less than 1 mile from the beach and surrounded by trails with stunning ocean views, this is coastal living at its finest! And with such high demand for ADUs, this property is not to be missed. I invite you to come and see it!
