    What's special

    Nestled on a tranquil street with no through traffic, this stunning Craftsman-inspired home promises an unparalleled beachside living experience. Situated a stone's throw from the beach, the property offers an idyllic blend of coastal vibes with the craftsmanship of a bygone era. In 2018, the main house underwent a meticulous custom remodel down to the studs. This transformed its layout, making it more functional and modern, and also introduced a sprawling front porch—a perfect spot to savor those balmy evenings. Step inside to be greeted by an open-concept floor plan that effortlessly flows into a chef's dream kitchen. Showcasing exquisite marble countertops, elegant inset shaker cabinets, a robust walnut butcher block island, and a classic farm sink with a Brizo faucet. The floor-to-ceiling subway tiles further enhance the kitchen's aesthetic, and spacious walk-in pantry, ensuring everything has its place. Each bathroom mirrors the kitchen's sophisticated design with custom marble-top vanities & cohesive subway tiles, creating a harmonious flow throughout the home. Upstairs, the main suite beckons, offering breathtaking views that remind you daily of your proximity to the ocean's shores. Boasting state-of-the-art amenities, the home features fully paid-off solar panels, efficient A/C, and a tankless water heater. An outdoor shower adds a touch of luxury for those post-beach days, while the Trex backyard deck and lush turf make for a low-maintenance yet picturesque outdoor space. Further highlights include a newer roof, a detached garage, contemporary black casement windows, sumptuous white oak hardwood flooring, and many designer finishes punctuating this home's uniqueness. To add the cherry on top, elevate your property's value even more with the detached ADU, which is perfect for generating passive income. This brand-new, custom-built unit is a masterclass in design, showcasing chic vaulted ceilings. Its compact kitchenette is functional and stylish, complemented by a full bathroom. Every inch is optimized for comfort and utility with in-unit laundry, intelligent storage solutions, and its own tankless hot water heater. Step outside, and you're greeted by a dedicated outdoor grilling area, making it an ideal retreat or rental opportunity. The only thing left to do is take in the relaxed surfer vibes of Imperial Beach, with the vibrant local eateries and boutiques that IB showcases only a block away.
