This remodeled beach bungalow embodies a philosophy increasingly embraced by those who understand coastal living: live small, but live well. On one of the East Mesa's quietest streets, it delivers easy beach access w/out the bustle—just two blocks to Shoreline Park, moments to Leadbetter Beach and the Shoreline Steps. The home is an exercise in intentional living—a thoughtfully edited space where every square foot earns its keep. Recent renovations honor its character while adding modern touches that elevate daily life: vaulted ceilings, custom kitchen and closets, fresh landscaping, and a new roof. Set in Washington's coveted district, this address offers more than location—it's about community, morning surf checks, afternoon bluff walks, + sunset channel views. Here, life is well lived.
