SERENE SANCTUARY BY THE SEA! This enchanting Eichler inspired mid-century beach cottage is the crown jewel in the Vista Del Pacific Del Gado AND only a 1/2 mile stroll to Poche Beach. This meticulously upgraded bungalow will delight you from the open beamed ceilings down to the door knobs. This Zen Den has been lovingly upgraded with new kitchen counters, a swanky farm sink, new hardwood floor in the bedroom, remodeled bathroom and a spa like shower. The lavish front patio has a view of the hills where you can admire the picture perfect sunrises in the morning. Once inside, the open floor plan will delight you as you are saturated with natural light from the extra dual paned windows, wood floors, designer paint and a zen feel. The kitchen has soft closing drawers, custom wine rack and stainless steel appliances. The bathroom feels more like a mini spa with dual vanity, jalousie windows and a skylight. Both bedrooms have glass sliders to the private back patio and custom closets with high end custom modules like drawers and slide out racks. A few years ago, air conditioning was installed, the water heater was replaced and the pipes coated. Green features include: newer energy efficient cool roof, retractable patio awning, dual paned windows, ceiling fans, skylight, Nest thermostat, drought tolerant landscaping, and LED lighting that all contribute to very low utility bills. You just can't get this kind of home at this price so close to the beach. Namaste!

A piece of artwork. You won’t find anything like this. With city and hillside views, this mid-century modern inspired contemporary home was FULLY remodeled, top to bottom, in 2014 without any expense spared. Air conditioning installed, new water heater & furnace, dual pane windows and sliders, plumbing fully lined with epoxy, roof and termite clearance, soundproof foam and built in surround sound. Kitchen layout was reconfigured and features concrete stone countertops, soft-closing cabinetry, lazy susan, stainless-steel appliances, custom wine display and a new window added for more light. Bathroom has dual vanities and a high-end air tub. Laundry inside in hallway. Closets have full built-ins with drawers. Contemporary window coverings, ceiling fans and light fixtures. Office has a built-in queen pull out bed behind the phantom desk-you do not even need to move the computer monitors when pulling down. Back and front yard are laid with quartzite stone. Unique gardening area on side of house. Location is rare being just steps to the pool and a couple blocks from the beach. Truly a quality and exceptionally maintained residence with character.
