About This Home

As of June 2025

This West Cliff Drive gem hasn't seen the market since 2003, a rarity that makes unicorns look common. While others squint through windows hoping for ocean peaks, you're living directly across from the cliffs with front row seats to endless Pacific views and sunsets that stop conversations mid-sentence. The setup here is brilliantly sneaky, a full upstairs suite with its own kitchen, bathroom & living space that transforms this into the perfect multi-generational sanctuary or in-law solution without anyone feeling cramped. Downstairs, the fireplace anchors cozy evenings while the back pond reflects your good fortune. The front garden blooms like someone who actually knows what they're doing lives here, yet remains surprisingly low maintenance. Minutes away, Swift Street's trendy boutiques, breweries & coffee shops await, while the 2.5 mile walking and biking trail literally starts at your doorstep for those moments when you need to convince yourself you earned those sunset views. When friends visit, they'll understand immediately why West Cliff addresses are hoarded like family heirlooms. You won't need to explain the appeal, the ocean does that for you.
