Oceanfront house with indoor pool in living room & kitchen! This is a one of a kind property on a quiet 'cul de sac' with huge decks on both the entry level and second story which offer unfettered views of the Pacific Ocean, shimmering sunsets and refreshing rolling surf. Large picture windows capture the surf and ocean [Supplement]: views from every room in the house. The upstairs master suite is situated on the ocean with an enormous viewing deck, adjacent loft/den area and master bath, all of which have seductively beautiful ocean views. Downstairs the dining room, family room and kitchen are all located on the ocean and adjacent to the expansive downstairs viewing decks. The entire property is light, bright, clean and contemporary with the coveted feeling of a classic California beach house. One of the downstairs bedrooms has been converted to a professional office and also offers superior ocean views. The indoor pool, which stretches between and including the living room and the kitchen, speaks for itself. This is a truly unique property in a very special area.
