About This Home
As of June 2024Welcome home to 16 Escuela in the heart of La Selva Beach! An entertainer's dream, from the spacious chefs kitchen to the lush backyard to the enormous deck (lovingly referred to as the "party deck") there is much to love about this La Selva gem. A generous floor plan features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, two separate family room options and an entire wing dedicated to the primary suite! Natural light pours in from the numerous windows, skylights and french doors, which all lead to the stunning backyard space. The fantastic indoor - outdoor flow creates California living at its finest. Step outside and a verdant oasis greets you with its vibrant tapestry of greens, warm sunlight and ever present bird songs. Perfect for any activity that suits your mood from gardening, firing up the bbq or simply dining al fresco while basking in the sherbert tones of sunset. The list of amenities continues, from the outdoor shower to the finished basement and separate additional workshop/storage space. A perfect work from home environment, wired with ethernet throughout, as well as having five built in desks. A short stroll leads you to the Village and your own private beach access, library and clubhouse. With its excellent location and abundant amenities, this La Selva gem is ready for you!
