About This Home

As of March 2025

Come see this lovely and well maintained home close to ocean, restaurants, and shops located in one of the most walkable neighborhoods in the area. Featuring a massive vaulted ceiling family room to dining room area and a beautiful back yard patio for entertaining, this home is ready to be filled with your friends and family during special occasions. The kitchen charms with excellent light all day, stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinet storage, and newer countertops with enough surfaces to do proper cooking. Bedrooms are open and get good afternoon light. A raised garden bed and shed for tools allows for an enterprising landscaper to practice their trade. Not pictured is a large 2 car garage with extra area for storage. The side yard is wide enough for your RV, and if you need more rooms in the future it is not uncommon for homes in the neighborhood to build up. Half Moon Bay is a charming community, a sanctuary away from the bustle of Silicon Valley.
