Living on the oceanfront is the elixir of life with the liquid blue enchantress, the Pacific Ocean, as your your westerly canvas. With your own private stairs to the beach, you can cavort in the sand and waves until sunset, then relax to the melody of the breaking surf on your 1,000-square-foot oceanfront deck. The home has been completely renovated and redesigned by the late architect Steve Adams, who described the remodel as the perfect mixture of function and ocean fun.
