    What's special

    From the generous primary suite, wake up to sweeping panoramic views and spectacular sunrises in this elevated Oceanside pool home, ideally positioned at the top of the hill on one of the area’s most desirable cul-de-sac streets with NO HOA and no neighbors directly below. Offering 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2,797 sq ft, this impressive residence combines privacy, space, and an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. Step inside to soaring ceilings, expansive dual pane windows and an abundance of natural light, creating an immediate sense of openness and scale. Multiple living spaces provide plenty of room to gather and entertain, while the spacious kitchen with a large center island flows seamlessly into the family room. The main-level bedroom and full bath offer excellent flexibility for guests, extended family or a private home office. The backyard offers a private outdoor retreat featuring the pool and spa, built-in fire pit, expansive vinyl pergola-covered patio, mature tropical landscaping and unobstructed views spanning the entire rear of the property. Enjoy morning coffee as the sun rises, afternoons by the pool and evenings around the fire. Complete with an attached 3-car garage, dual-zone HVAC, and generous yard space, this is a rare opportunity to own nearly 2,800 sq ft in an elevated setting with the space and versatility to enjoy for years to come.
