About This Home

Major price improvement, Seller says sell! Updated ADU, Kitchen & Living Room, and equipped with Owned Solar. At 2,600+ sq ft, this is one of the largest homes you'll find within 5 blocks from the beach. Offering versatility, ample indoor / outdoor space, and a fantastic location at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this home is a must see, especially at its improved price. The kitchen is complete with an expansive island with wine refrigerator alcove, custom cabinetry, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting... The kitchen opens to a spacious dining area and light-filled living room with vaulted ceiling and luxury vinyl plank flooring, creating an inviting space that's perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The renovated ADU takes up the entire 2nd floor and includes a kitchenette, full bath, bedroom, living room / optional 2nd bedroom, and balcony. Improvements include new quartz counters, lights, fans, luxury vinyl flooring, sinks, mini-fridge, interior and deck paint. The ADU is ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or potential rental income, and adds tremendous value and privacy. Additional highlights include an extended length two-car garage with ample storage and large laundry area. The newer paid-off solar system was installed approximately 5 years ago. New roof and exterior paint were completed about 10 years ago. The well maintained front yard is equipped with a sprinkler system. The long driveway can accommodate at least two cars or possibly a RV. The backyard patio, garden area and yard space offer endless potential. Enjoy the tranquil location with no vehicle through traffic at the end of a cul-de-sac that features a pedestrian-only pathway towards the beach. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a multi-generational setup, or a coastal investment opportunity, 540 Donax Avenue is a rare find that checks every box.
