Description
This classic New England-style residence is one of the neighborhood’s most admired homes. Expansive ocean views are enjoyed from most rooms, while a versatile floor plan creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Beautifully remodeled in 2026, including the pool and spa, the home features wide-plank flooring, stunning millwork, new French windows and doors, and custom lighting that enhance its architectural character throughout. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the house, a place where everyone will want to gather. Multiple living spaces offer flexibility, along with quiet, private places to escape, while a downstairs bedroom adds even more versatility. A graceful staircase leads to three additional bedrooms, including the captivating primary suite. The upstairs family room provides another place to gather and can also serve as a luxurious guest retreat or private office. French doors open to a huge brick patio offering tremendous possibilities for outdoor entertaining, while the secluded pool and spa enjoy panoramic views. Few homes are as distinctive or offer such a compelling combination of charm, privacy, architectural character and lifestyle. Instantly recognizable, its coveted lower Lunada Bay location just a block from the ocean, makes it even more exceptional.
