Life here tends to revolve around the view. From the main living space and deck, you look out to open ocean, the curve of the bay, and the rocky shoreline beyond. It's the kind of view that changes by the hour. Whales pass through, surfers move with the swell, and the light shifts from soft mornings to long coastal sunsets. At night, you'll catch distant boat lights and the occasional glow of fireworks, all with the steady sound of the ocean in the background. And when the moon sets over the water, it's something you won't forget. Built in 2016 and set just west of Hwy 101, this 3-level home was designed to take full advantage of its position near the ocean while maintaining privacy. Located about a block from the shoreline, it includes a deeded walking easement to Ocean Road with access to a sandy beach. The protected view corridor helps ensure those sight lines remain. Step outside to walk the surf, search for agates and sand dollars, or explore nearby trails. The main level is bright, open, and comfortable, with vaulted ceilings, large west-facing windows, and a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace that anchors the space. The kitchen blends function and warmth with quartz counters, cherry cabinetry, a generous island, and a gas range made for real cooking and gathering. A standout design element is the custom-crafted staircase railing, featuring an ocean-inspired motif that adds character and a sense of place as you move through the home. The primary suite captures both ocean and bay views and includes a bathroom with a soaking tub (view of the water), a double shower, quartz vanity and cherry cabinetry. On the entry level, there's a generously sized guest bedroom, a full bath with double shower, and access to the attached two-car garage with laundry & additional shop space. There's also extra parking for an RV or boat. The home is well insulated, quiet, equipped with on-demand hot water, central heat and air, and is wired for a chair lift. An outdoor hot and cold water faucet makes rinsing off after the beach easy. Above, the loft provides flexible sleeping space, a half bath, and a vantage point that's hard to pull yourself away from. Outside, the yard is thoughtfully planted with hydrangeas, crocosmia, raised garden bed, and mature cedar trees. A detached studio built in 2023 provides a dedicated creative space, ideal for artists or makers, complete with electricity and Wi-Fi. Set on a quiet dead-end street with minimal traffic, this home offers a rare balance of openness and shelter. From resident gray whales and bald eagles to the constant movement of the ocean, the setting becomes part of daily life. Offered fully furnished if desired.
