This house also affords the perfect opportunity to build a luxurious custom home on the sand. The bright white kitchen is the perfect space to prepare gourmet meals or casual dinners to eat on the deck outside. This home is a quiet respite from the daily grind, featuring plenty of outdoor space to relax and unwind, and the sound and scent of the Pacific is your front yard! Enjoy this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home as a vacation getaway or as a year round destination for relaxing on the beach in traditional classic style. Situated on a spacious corner lot in the exclusive community of Sunset Beach, this gorgeous bungalow is centrally located near excellent shopping, schools and restaurants in the neighboring towns of Huntington and Seal Beach. Savor the sunset in this cottage by the sea; it’s the perfect place to call home.
