About This Home
As of August 2023It's all about the view! Cool Riveria contemporary home with spectacular ocean, island, city & harbor views from almost every room. Renovation just completed, ready for a new owner to move right in, with updated kitchen, master bath, flooring, paint, landscaping & more. Upstairs has vaulted ceilings throughout and a great floor plan with open living, dining & loft area, all with access to the view deck. Kitchen has ocean views & has updated cabinets, quartz counters & new stainless appliances. The master & 2nd bedroom are on the middle level, both with vaulted ceilings, ensuite baths & a spacious view deck off the master. Downstairs is a family room area with wet bar & 3rd bedroom/office, all with ocean views & ADU potential. The private patio is perfect for sunset viewing & just relaxing. Vaulted ceilings in most of the home create a great feeling of volume and space. Beautiful cedar siding in the living area, master bedroom and family room. Wonderful upper patio at the front of the house, overlooking colorful landscaping, and a nice space for entertaining. Several varieties of citrus trees and an amazing avocado tree! A rare basement is also a plus, could be a wine cellar or great extra storage. Two car garage, and plenty of off street parking. A really special property with so much to offer and many options!
