About This Home
Ocean views with your morning coffee. Tee time in the afternoon. Sunset walks along the sand just minutes from home. Welcome to your gated retreat in Seascape Uplands, where every day feels like a resort getaway. This custom 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home sits on a peaceful cul-de-sac on an expansive third of an acre lot, surrounded by lush, low-maintenance landscaping and serene greenbelt views. Inside, an open-concept layout and chefs kitchen create the ideal setting for gathering, entertaining, and simply enjoying the coastal lifestyle. Outdoor living shines with wrap-around decks, stone patios, manicured gardens, a 3-car garage, owned solar, and a large basement for storage. Resort living. Everyday reality. Where the ocean is part of your daily routine. A rare opportunity to live above it all on the Monterey Bay.
