About This Home

As of February 2019

Yes, you can have it all. Impeccable and tasteful, 1545 Morningside Drive is a wonderful opportunity in a world full of compromises. Ocean and canyon views, open floor plan, plentiful deck space, ocean view master bedroom with four additional bedrooms, office, and even yard space – this residence checks all the boxes and does it with terrific style. Generously sized and with dramatic architecture, the home minimizes stairs with a main level entry and garage. Even the ‘grocery path’ from the garage to the kitchen has no steps – a rarity in hillside homes. A unique and appealing interior design flair is set with the best of fixtures and finishes. Outdoor space is ample – ocean view decks and private courtyards can be accessed from much of the house. 1545 Morningside Drive provides a chance to own an incredible residence in one of the most coveted locales along the southern California coastline – without compromise.
