    What's special

    Imagine beginning each morning with a walk along the beach, spending afternoons on Alamitos Bay, enjoying dinner on vibrant Second Street, and ending the day in the privacy of your own rooftop retreat beneath the coastal sky. Welcome to one of Belmont Shore's most exceptional contemporary residences. Perfectly positioned just ½ block from the Pacific Ocean and one block from Alamitos Bay, this beautifully reimagined home blends sophisticated coastal design with one of Southern California's most sought-after beach lifestyles. From the inviting front courtyard to the light-filled interiors, every space has been thoughtfully designed with warm natural finishes, clean architectural lines, and an effortless sense of comfort and style. At the heart of the home is a spectacular chef's kitchen featuring an oversized waterfall island, premium stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and seamless flow into the adjoining living and dining spaces—creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and memorable entertaining. The open floor plan offers an exceptional sense of space while maintaining an inviting, comfortable atmosphere throughout. Upstairs, three thoughtfully designed bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including a spacious primary bedroom with direct access to a private rooftop retreat through sliding glass doors. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, relaxing with a favorite book, or unwinding beneath the coastal sky at sunset, this secluded outdoor sanctuary creates a peaceful extension of the bedroom and a true everyday escape. Beyond the home itself, you'll enjoy an unmatched coastal lifestyle just moments from the picturesque canals of Naples Island, the boutiques, cafés, and acclaimed restaurants along Belmont Shore's iconic Second Street, the shopping and dining destinations at 2ND & PCH and Marina Pacifica, and the waterfront restaurants overlooking Alamitos Bay and the surrounding marinas. Downtown Long Beach, Shoreline Village, the Aquarium of the Pacific, The Queen Mary, and countless dining, entertainment, and cultural attractions are all just minutes away, placing the very best of Southern California coastal living at your doorstep. Rarely does a residence combine exceptional design, an outstanding location, and effortless coastal living into one remarkable opportunity.
