About This Home

As of April 2022

Welcome to 289 Ventana Way in coveted Seascape Uplands! This home has 4 bedrooms plus an office, 3 and a half baths, many spaces to gather including a front sitting room and downstairs family room in addition to the main open concept living space. The kitchen and dining area really maximize the gorgeous ocean and arroyo views. This home has a lot to love, but my favorite feature is the incredible amount of light and natural beauty that streams through the many windows in nearly every room. The third floor primary suite and attached spa-like bathroom is airy and bright and features an ocean view sitting area with a cozy fireplace and attached balcony. The private office with balcony completes the top floor and affords great separation for any work-from-home occupants. Downstairs from the living level is the remaining 3 bedrooms, including a second en-suite bedroom perfect for guests. Come live the luxury coastal lifestyle in this executive home!
