A rare blend of timeless craftsmanship, warm architectural character, and an extraordinary oceanfront setting, this exceptional Studio Drive residence offers a truly special way to experience the Cayucos coast. Set back from the bluff in one of the most desirable and pristine stretches of Studio Drive, the property enjoys sweeping ocean views while its natural positioning creates a remarkable sense of privacy and shelter, a rare combination along the beachfront. A beautifully designed courtyard welcomes you with brick, a fireplace, and inviting gathering spaces. Just beyond, the main living spaces open toward the bluff, creating a seamless extension of indoor living with expansive views of the Pacific. The kitchen features a six burner range, double ovens, generous workspace, and convenient access to the courtyard, while the dining room and kitchen connect directly to the bluffside outdoor living area, perfectly positioned for taking in the coastline, sunsets, and ever changing coastal scenery. Inside, rich woodwork, custom built ins, stained glass, distinctive lighting, and beautifully finished concrete floors create an atmosphere that feels both refined and relaxed. Ocean views unfold from the foyer, living room, dining room, and kitchen, keeping the Pacific at the heart of the home. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a fireplace, private patio, spa like bath, and spectacular views from Point Estero to Point Buchon. A versatile den with wet bar provides an ideal office, reading room, or additional sleeping space, while another deck overlooks the courtyard. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms. The ocean side bedroom offers water views and access to a grassy side yard, while the second features impressive ceiling height, beautiful natural light, a full bath, and views overlooking the grassy yard and ocean. A dedicated laundry area adds everyday convenience. Across the courtyard, a charming guest unit offers a loft sleeping area, fireplace, mini fridge, and three quarter bath. Thoughtfully designed for coastal living, this is a truly distinctive Studio Drive retreat where exceptional craftsmanship, privacy, and one of the Central Coast’s most spectacular oceanfront settings come together. Many furnishings are also available, allowing the next owner to settle in and enjoy this remarkable home from day one.
