About This Home
Single level. The Cliff neighborhood. Hidden Beach moments away. Why wait years for a listing that finally hits every mark? Set above the flats in Rio Del Mars most coveted pocket, this home balances total privacy with quick access to the best of the coast. You are minutes from Hidden Beach Park, Deluxe Foods, & neighborhood favorite Venus Spirits. It is the kind of location where people move in & stay for decades. The house is designed around an open, airy flow, and the vaulted ceilings make the home feel open and inviting. The way the natural light hits the living area throughout the day is something you have to see in person. The kitchen is recently remodeled, & both the bathrooms & flooring are in beautiful condition. The backyard is where things get fun: the deck overlooks a private yard complete with turf & your own bocce ball court. Whether you're watching your furry friend run around the grass or hosting a game night with friends, it's a space built for real life. If you need a quiet office, or a hobby space, the bonus room & workshop provide the extra square footage everyone is looking for. It is rare to find a place that checks this many boxes in such a premier spot. Between the layout, the yard, & the location, everything is dialed & ready for you.
