This expansive and charming dutch-gabled residence is nestled moments from the tide pools and tree-lined bluffs of Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Effortless California-Mediterranean landscaping surrounds multi-level refinished decks, and large windows invite in the sunlight. The main living space (newly refinished wood floors throughout) includes a granite-countertop kitchen, great room with a fireplace, and both a formal dining space and breakfast nook. The bathrooms in the enormous master suite and guest space have been updated. The property also features a separate two bedroom space with a full bath that would be ideal for an ADU, permit process already begun by the current owner. Spacious two-car garage is adjacent to a large room for a workshop or studio, as well as plentiful storage. Ideally located within 25-30 minutes of SF, SFO and the greater Peninsula with immediate proximity to local Moss Beach favorites, nature trails and parks, and Montara State Beach.
