About This Home

As of August 2025

Introducing “Bayside Estates” –a coastal retreat that epitomizes the best of coastal California living, nestled within the highly sought-after Morro Cove enclave. Ideally situated just moments from the Embarcadero, Morro Bay Blvd, Tidelands Park, and the bustling Saturday farmers market, this home offers an unparalleled blend of serenity, scenic beauty, and walkable convenience. Commanding sweeping vistas of the Back Bay, Morro Rock, the Sandspit, and the encircling coastal mountains, the residence is thoughtfully positioned to maximize natural beauty while placing you at the heart of Morro Bay’s most cherished attractions. From the nearby golf course and picturesque hiking trails to vibrant waterfront dining and boutique shopping, every amenity is within effortless reach. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2,549 square feet of artfully designed living space, the home features a versatile split-level layout that enhances both flow and function. The lower level welcomes you with a formal sitting room, a dedicated front office, and a well-appointed full bath. The kitchen showcases rich oak cabinetry, granite countertops, and a central island with a breakfast bar—perfect for both casual meals and entertaining. A seamless transition leads to the private backyard patio, while the sunken living room with a fireplace opens to the quiet, tree-lined Morro Cove Road. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a true sanctuary, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a private balcony with peekaboo views of the bay and Morro Rock. Two additional bedrooms—one with its own balcony overlooking Main Street—share a thoughtfully positioned guest bath and a full-size laundry room for added convenience. The fully fenced backyard is an inviting outdoor haven, featuring a spacious patio, raised planter beds, and drought-tolerant landscaping, designed for effortless enjoyment of Morro Bay’s temperate, coastal climate. This is more than a home; it’s a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, community charm, and timeless coastal elegance!
