About This Home
As of July 2024Sleek coastal elegance at its finest! Light wood tones throughout mixed with light colored stone, natural material finishes and pops of coastal aesthetics to create a vibe of soothing tranquility yet fun and beachy. The large living room affords ample room for multiple sitting areas to watch tv or enjoy a cozy evening by the fire. An adjacent space is perfect for a home office, kids play area or to display and store your surfboards. Vaulted ceilings in the oversized dining room lead into the spacious and open kitchen with Cafe Series appliances including a beverage fridge in the island as well as ample storage. The light and bright master suite will be the envy of all your friends with vaulted wood beamed ceilings, an attached deck, a walk-in closet and a master bath to die for. A built-in vanity/make-up area, additional closet space and a large walk-in shower in the master bath will make getting ready in the morning a pleasure instead of a chore. Two other spacious bedrooms, one of which is an ensuite, and two additional bathrooms provide plenty of space for a family or overnight guests. A new mini-split system, two covered parking spaces and additional attic storage space round out this coastal gem. You're steps to the surf and sand and walking distance to the Brig for happy hour as well as downtown Solana Beach with tons of shops and restaurants on tap.
