About This Home
As of May 2025180-degree ocean views, sun-drenched beamed ceilings, private outdoor space, and a roof deck are the cornerstones of the quintessential beach pad, and this home has them all! Perched on the crest of the Sand Section, with sun-drenched beamed ceilings and French doors that open to a private balcony, inviting in fresh ocean breezes. This home features two bedrooms, plus an extra office, a large backyard, and a rare fully permitted roof top deck which will allow you to check the surf, enjoy the sunset and imagine the potential of what your view would look if you eventually decide to rebuild. There are two parking spots on the property, ample storage, short-term rental potential in the vibrant commercial corridor, and owned solar panels to reduce your monthly costs, this property is not just a home—it’s an investment in luxury, lifestyle, and lasting value. Just steps from boutique shops, top-rated restaurants, and cozy cafés, this stunning beach cottage offers the ultimate coastal lifestyle.
