About This Home

As of October 2025

Some houses you drive past without a second glance. Others stop you mid-stride with architecture that commands attention and landscaping that frames it like art. This timeless Rio Del Mar home delivers sophisticated elegance with an inverted floorplan that puts living spaces upstairs - expansive living room flowing onto a large deck with ocean peeks perfect for entertaining. The crows nest viewing platform captures unobstructed ocean vistas that make every sunset an event. Bedrooms sit privately downstairs while upstairs becomes your hosting headquarters. Hot tub evenings under string lights create a perfect after-dinner party atmosphere, while the outdoor shower adds a luxury resort touch. The office and TV room provide flexible spaces that adapt. Venus Spirits and Pixie Deli sit close enough for impromptu lunches out, while Rio Del Mar Beach becomes your extended backyard playground. Ocean proximity means coastal lifestyle without coastal maintenance headaches. Completely turnkey and move-in ready, this home works as primary residence or second home, sophisticated enough for full-time living, low-maintenance enough for weekend retreats. Classic design meets modern convenience perfectly. When architecture meets location this perfectly, you dont hesitate.
