Perched on an expansive 8,600 sq. ft. lot with stunning ocean views, this Paradise Hills standout is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home that feels bright and airy, featuring brand-new kitchen flooring and upgrades that make life easy. Fully paid-off solar, a full HVAC system, and a premium Puronics water filtration system are all included. Plus, the R-2 zoning on this massive lot means there is plenty of room to dream big—think ADU, guest house, or an investment play. This location is a total hidden gem. You’re tucked away just enough to catch those coastal breezes, yet you’re minutes from the 805 and 54, local shopping, and the neighborhood boxing gym. Whether you’re looking for a private retreat with a view or a smart property with room to grow, this is the one.
