About This Home
As of August 2025Panoramic views and exceptional privacy in the best unit of Oceana Mission I – a rare find in 55+ living! This is the most private unit in all of Oceana Mission I, perfectly situated with sweeping, unobstructed views that invite you to relax and enjoy coastal Southern California living. Retreat to outdoor living on your private scenic patio that opens to greenbelt space—offering serenity with the feel of a private yard. Step inside to a light-filled open floor plan that blends the living room, dining area, and kitchen into one welcoming space. The home’s layout creates a seamless flow, with the upgraded kitchen featuring quality wooden cabinetry, a brand-new stainless steel range, and other modern appliances. The spacious primary suite includes ample storage and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower in the en-suite bath. A second bedroom with a large closet opens to the hallway with easy access to the full guest bath. Recent updates include a new composition roof installed by the HOA in 2024, smooth ceilings, updated baseboards, new carpeting in the bedrooms, upgraded windows throughout, a new mini split system was installed in 2023 ($15,000), and custom window coverings that open from the top or bottom to provide both light and privacy. PLUS: the community is repainting the exterior of all buildings this fall! The private gated carport can be used as a retreat or extra parking, and the 1-car garage includes a washer, dryer, and built-in storage cabinetry. There are plenty of guest parking spaces close by.
