45 San Rafael St, Avila Beach, CA 93424
What's special
Two Homes. Ocean Views. One Remarkable Avila Beach Setting. 35 & 45 San Rafael St present an uncommon opportunity to own two residences together in the heart of Avila Beach, combining ocean views, flexible living possibilities and an inviting garden setting within one of California's most distinctive coastal communities. What makes this property special is the experience of the property itself. Pass between the residences and you enter a landscaped outdoor environment filled with mature plantings, colorful flowers and fruit trees. Pavers and artificial turf create functional, low-maintenance spaces, while multiple sitting areas -- including a sunken gathering area with an ocean view -- provide places to entertain, barbecue, read or relax in the coastal air. 35 San Rafael has the comfortable feel of a classic beach bungalow. Positioned above a two-car garage, it features hardwood floors, abundant natural light and ocean views from the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen offers generous storage, tile counters and a breakfast bar, while the bedroom enjoys a south-facing view and walk-in closet. A three-quarter bath and spacious deck complete the home. 45 San Rafael offers three bedrooms and vintage coastal character. Beautiful wood floors, extensive pine paneling and large windows create warmth while capturing natural light and ocean views. The kitchen and dining area look toward the Avila Pier and coastline, while the rear deck provides an inviting space with an elevated ocean view. The combination of two separate residences creates flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find this close to the coast. Ideal for a primary or second home, extended or multi-generational living, investment potential, or simply the flexibility of owning two homes together. Enjoy the residences as they are or make improvements over time. And then there is the location. Avila Beach offers a lifestyle that is difficult to duplicate -- morning walks along the beach, restaurants and shops, afternoons on the sand and evenings watching whales and dolphins over the Pacific.
