Welcome to 1888 Saint James, an architecturally stunning home that is eligible to be a licensed vacation rental (buyer to verify). This stretch of the street enjoys beautiful ocean views, plus tranquility and wildlife watching opportunities provided by the open and environmentally sensitive space between Saint James Road and Wales Road. The house itself consists of three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a large family room, and an open floor plan comprising the kitchen, living room, and dining area. There are ocean views from almost every room. Entering through the front door, you are greeted by the open living space, which includes several new appliances in the recently remodeled kitchen (Wolf gas range/oven, built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, and Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher), a gas log fireplace in the living room, and wraparound deck access off the dining area. The custom paint colors were chosen for their warmth, and their reflection of the ocean views. Beyond the living space are the master bedroom (with a walk-in closet) and bathroom, a smaller bedroom (which would make a wonderful boudoir, guest room, or office), a half bathroom, the laundry room, a built-in desk and cabinetry in the hall, and another door leading to the wraparound deck. This all combines to make single level living possible once you are in the house. Going up the stairs, you are treated to spectacular ocean and white-water views from the large family room, complete with a wet bar, a small refrigerator, and built-in cabinets and shelves. Envision yourself relaxing in it with a large sectional and a flat screen television, or a pool table and other gaming areas, while watching the sun set over the Pacific ocean. Also on this floor are the third bedroom, plus a full bathroom containing a large soaking tub/shower space with dual shower heads, a toilet, and a double sink vanity. The two car garage is attached to the house by interior stairs, plus there is storage under the house. All appliances are included, making this home move-in ready. Come experience upper Marine Terrace at its finest!
