Description

MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT!! Tucked behind huge oak trees, this unique property is one of a kind. It's almost 2 homes in 1. Up the steps to the beautifully carved front door on the newer part of the home, you'll find a large living area open to a chef's kitchen. Granite counters, 5-burner gas stove, large island with copper sink, beautiful fixtures hang above, double drawer dishwasher and new Samsung refrigerator The living room has a wall of windows opening to a deck where you can sit and enjoy morning coffee, or sip wine as the sun goes down while looking at the Pacific Ocean. A wall mounted gas fireplace adds to the ambiance. Also off the living room is a full bath. Downstairs is the primary suite with a bonus nook for an office? Nursery? The spa-like bath features a claw-foot tub, double sinks and vanities and a walk-in shower with custom tile work, plus heated floors and a bidet. Off the bath is a big, big walk-in closet. Just outside the bedroom, a door leads down to an unfinished basement, that with some imagination, could be a wine cellar? More storage? Back up the cork-lined stairs to the living area, an interior breezeway leads thru another full bath into the other part of the property. Four levels, each with their own unique features. The top has been used as an art studio and has access to a rooftop terrace. Down one short level is a room that could be used as a guest room (there is a closet and a wood-burning stove) one more level is the laundry and a kitchenette with direct access to the 1-car garage. The final level has another bedroom with an en-suite 3/4 bath, and access to a back deck with peek-a-boo views of the ocean. There are so many possibilities. It's perfect for extended family, perhaps a rental unit, guest unit. Single car garage, plus a covered carport, plus an extra parking pad for camper, truck, maybe an RV. New tankless water heater. So much to love about this home. Don't miss it!
