Welcome to ''Solitude,'' a beautifully updated coastal retreat in the heart of Salter Path offering a rare combination of unobstructed ocean views, an expansive .6-acre lot, and beach access just steps away. Positioned directly across from the ocean with nothing to obstruct the views, this property is as close to oceanfront as you can get without being oceanfront!
This charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath coastal cottage captures beautiful ocean views from the living room, game room, and second-level observation deck. Step outside and you're only a few steps from quiet Hoffman Beach, making it easy to enjoy morning walks along the shoreline, afternoons in the sand, and evenings taking in the ocean breeze.
The current owners have thoughtfully renovated the home, including a beautifully updated kitchen and renovated bathrooms, and added a private swimming pool--creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the Crystal Coast lifestyle.
The large lot provides plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, while a detached garage with unfinished space above offers additional storage and possibilities for future use.
Offered fully furnished and with a solid rental history, Solitude is ready to enjoy as a primary residence, second home, or coastal investment property. Its combination of proximity to the beach, private pool, ocean views, and established rental history makes it especially appealing for buyers looking for a property they can enjoy themselves while also having the option to generate rental income.
The location adds even more appeal. Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway in Indian Beach is just minutes away for mini golf, go-karts, and family fun, with restaurants, shopping, and other Crystal Coast attractions nearby.
And for those who want to enjoy the Crystal Coast from the water as well as the beach, the owner also has a boat slip in Indian Beach listed separately in MLS, #100583188, providing convenient sound-side access for boating, fishing, and exploring the waterways of the Crystal Coast.
With its .6-acre lot, unobstructed ocean views, private pool, renovated interior, solid rental history, beach access just steps away, and no city taxes, Solitude offers something increasingly difficult to find along the Crystal Coast--the feel and views of oceanfront living without the oceanfront address.
