Perched in Cambria's coveted Top of the World neighborhood, 1570 Richard Avenue is where coastal light meets peaceful living. This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers 1,740 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, with expansive windows framing distant ocean views and flooding the interior with natural light. High ceilings in the main living area add to the open, airy feel, while deer and wild turkeys wandering the surroundings remind you just how close to nature you really are. The layout is as practical as it is inviting, with a bedroom and bathroom on each level. Upstairs, the primary loft suite is a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and forest views with glimpses of the sea. Downstairs, a spacious guest room offers flexible living—ideal for sleeping, relaxing, or creating a multi-purpose space—with double doors opening to the patio. A second guest bedroom connects to the deck through its own double doors, perfect for sipping morning coffee surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. The main living area flows effortlessly to the deck, where ocean views and fresh air set the stage for easy entertaining or quiet evenings alike. Recent upgrades make this home as move-in ready as it is beautiful: new redwood decks, new siding, a new roof, and a striking new brick driveway and hardscape. An added fenced backyard and an attached two-car garage, and you have a home that's as functional as it is charming. Currently licensed as a vacation rental, 1570 Richard Avenue is a rare opportunity—whether you're seeking a private coastal escape, a full-time residence, or a savvy investment property. Seller will consider a 3-2-1 buy down with an accepted offer. Call your Realtor today to make an appointment.
