Experience the best of coastal country living in the peaceful community of La Selva Beach. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this thoughtfully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home (one of which is a versatile converted garage space) offers stunning treetop and farmland views with no homes behind -just nature. Located a short 0.7 mile walk from the beach, residents enjoy private gated beach access as a member of the LSB Improvement Association. Inside, you'll be immediately drawn in by the serene ambiance and panoramic views through large windows & decking. The recently remodeled kitchen and spa-inspired bathrooms were designed with eco-conscious living in mind, featuring sustainable materials and finishes throughout. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening sunset from any of the three sun-soaked redwood view decks, where you can listen to the sound of ocean waves and birdsong in the distance. The fully fenced yard includes vibrant rose gardens, fruit trees & a 15' x 15' enclosed dog run. Earth-friendly upgrades include owned solar panels with back-up battery (power during outages), a tankless water heater, a high-efficiency furnace with air scrubber, all-new ductwork & non-toxic ceramic tile flooring. Don't miss this tranquil retreat!
