About This Home

As of April 2024

The thoughtfully designed interior of this Rio Del Mar single level cottage will sweep you off of your feet. As you move through the home to the back yard, you'll be drawn to the view of the ocean through the perfectly appointed back yard. An open living area allows for a casual and coastal living style. Kick off your shoes and be warmed by a crackling fire in the wood burning fireplace or simply warm your toes after a luxurious shower on the heated bathroom floors. Walk to Rio Del Mar beaches, nearby restaurants and shops, or the Seascape Golf Course. Surrounded by majestic residences, you won't believe your opportunity to own a home on such an exclusive street.
